Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019 This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

Recent and Ancient Signature of Balancing Selection around the S-Locus in Arabidopsis halleri and A. lyrata [PDF]
, 2012 Balancing selection can maintain different alleles over long evolutionary times. Beyond this direct effect on the molecular targets of selection, balancing selection is also expected to increase neutral polymorphism in linked genome regions, in inverse ...

Comparing Patterns of Natural Selection across Species Using Selective Signatures
PLoS Genetics, 2005 Comparing gene expression profiles over many different conditions has led to insights that were not obvious from single experiments. In the same way, comparing patterns of natural selection across a set of ecologically distinct species may extend what can be learned from individual genome-wide surveys.

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]
, 2013 Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...

Linkage Disequilibrium as a Signature of Selective Sweeps [PDF]
Genetics, 2004 Abstract The hitchhiking effect of a beneficial mutation, or a selective sweep, generates a unique distribution of allele frequencies and spatial distribution of polymorphic sites. A composite-likelihood test was previously designed to detect these signatures of a selective sweep, solely on the basis of the spatial distribution and ...

Evidence of widespread selection on standing variation in Europe at height-associated SNPs. [PDF]
, 2012 Strong signatures of positive selection at newly arising genetic variants are well documented in humans(1-8), but this form of selection may not be widespread in recent human evolution(9).
