Identification of Signatures of Selection by Whole-Genome Resequencing of a Chinese Native Pig
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Identification of genomic signatures of selection that help reveal genetic mechanisms underlying traits in domesticated pigs is of importance. Anqing six-end-white pig (ASP), a representative of the native breeds in China, has many distinguishing ...

Molecular Signatures of Natural Selection [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2005 There is an increasing interest in detecting genes, or genomic regions, that have been targeted by natural selection. The interest stems from a basic desire to learn more about evolutionary processes in humans and other organisms, and from the realization that inferences regarding selection may provide important functional information.

Signatures of Diversifying Selection in European Pig Breeds [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Following domestication, livestock breeds have experienced intense selection pressures for the development of desirable traits. This has resulted in a large diversity of breeds that display variation in many phenotypic traits, such as coat colour, muscle composition, early maturity, growth rate, body size, reproduction, and behaviour.

Identifying Signatures of Selection Related to Comb Development
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2021 The aim of this study was to identify genes involved in comb development to provide insights into the molecular mechanism of chickens' comb formation. Fixation index (FST) and average number of base differences (π) of males with large and small combs were calculated based on whole-genome resequencing data.

Identification of Selection Signatures in Cattle Breeds Selected for Dairy Production [PDF]
Genetics, 2010 Abstract The genomics revolution has spurred the undertaking of HapMap studies of numerous species, allowing for population genomics to increase the understanding of how selection has created genetic differences between subspecies populations.

The influence of feature selection methods on accuracy, stability and interpretability of molecular signatures [PDF]
, 2011 Motivation: Biomarker discovery from high-dimensional data is a crucial problem with enormous applications in biology and medicine. It is also extremely challenging from a statistical viewpoint, but surprisingly few studies have investigated the relative

Identifying signatures of natural selection in Indian populations
PLOS ONE, 2022 In this study, we present the results of a genome-wide scan for signatures of positive selection using data from four tribal groups (Kokana, Warli, Bhil, and Pawara) and two caste groups (Deshastha Brahmin and Kunbi Maratha) from West of the Maharashtra State In India, as well as two samples of South Asian ancestry from the 1KG project (Gujarati Indian

Population genetics: The signature of selection [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 There is hope that the structure of molecular variation within populations can give evidence for recent adaptive evolution. New work on Drosophila genes that seem to have been subject to adaptive changes illustrates the difficulties in calculating the statistical significance of data trends that seem to show this.
