Effects of Sex Steroids on Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Estrogens and androgens are classically recognized as reproductive sex steroid hormones because of their well-documented effects on reproductive...

Genomic predictions of genetic variances and correlations among traits for breeding crosses in soybean
Parental selection is perhaps the most critical decision a breeder makes, establishing the foundation of the entire program for years to come. Cross...

A complete chromosome substitution map** panel reveals genome-wide epistasis in Arabidopsis
Chromosome substitution lines (CSLs) are tentatively supreme resources to investigate non-allelic genetic interactions. However, the difficulty of...

Dissecting the sequential evolution of a selfish mitochondrial genome in Caenorhabditis elegans
Mitochondrial genomes exist in a nested hierarchy of populations where mitochondrial variants are subject to genetic drift and selection at each...
-
Ecological genetics of isolated loach populations indicate compromised adaptive potential
Many endangered species live in fragmented and isolated populations with low genetic variability, signs of inbreeding, and small effective population...
-
Development and optimization of expected cross value for mate selection problems
In this study, we address the mate selection problem in the hybridization stage of a breeding pipeline, which constitutes the multi-objective...

Integrating environmental gradients into breeding: application of genomic reactions norms in a perennial species
Global warming threatens the productivity of forest plantations. We propose here the integration of environmental information into a genomic...

Cryptic diversity of shallow and mesophotic Stephanocoenia intersepta corals across Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Population genetic analyses can provide useful data on species’ regional connectivity and diversity which can inform conservation and restoration...
-
Genetic and environmental effects on morphological traits of social phenotypes in wasps
Many species exhibit distinct phenotypic classes, such as sexes in dioecious species or castes in social species. The evolution of these classes is...

Long-term climatic stability drives accumulation and maintenance of divergent freshwater fish lineages in a temperate biodiversity hotspot
Anthropogenic climate change is forecast to drive regional climate disruption and instability across the globe. These impacts are likely to be...

Rolling down that mountain: microgeographical adaptive divergence during a fast population expansion along a steep environmental gradient in European beech
Forest tree populations harbour high genetic diversity thanks to large effective population sizes and strong gene flow, allowing them to diversify...

Evidence for gene flow and trait reversal during radiation of Mexican Goodeid fish
Understanding the phylogeographic history of a group and identifying the factors contributing to speciation is an important challenge in evolutionary...
-
The structure of the TH/INS locus and the parental allele expressed are not conserved between mammals
Parent-of-origin-specific expression of imprinted genes is critical for successful mammalian growth and development. Insulin, coded by the INS gene,...

Why we thrive beneath a northern sky – genomic signals of selection in apple for adaptation to northern Sweden
Good understanding of the genomic regions underlying adaptation of apple to boreal climates is needed to facilitate efficient breeding of locally...

Dual-trait genomic analysis in highly stratified Arabidopsis thaliana populations using genome-wide association summary statistics
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to identify genomic loci underlying complex traits. However, the application in natural...
-
Simulation of functional additive and non-additive genetic effects using statistical estimates from quantitative genetic models
Stochastic simulation software is commonly used to aid breeders designing cost-effective breeding programs and to validate statistical models used in...

Genetic architecture and correlations between the gut microbiome and gut gene transcription in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
Population divergence through selection can drive local adaptation in natural populations which has implications for the effective restoration of...
-
Island demographics and trait associations in white-tailed deer
When a population is isolated and composed of few individuals, genetic drift is the paramount evolutionary force and results in the loss of genetic...

Transcriptomics of differences in thermal plasticity associated with selection for an exaggerated male sexual trait
The information about the magnitude of differences in thermal plasticity both between and within populations, as well as identification of the...

Ecological divergence despite common mating sites: Genotypes and symbiotypes shed light on cryptic diversity in the black bean aphid species complex
Different host plants represent ecologically dissimilar environments for phytophagous insects. The resulting divergent selection can promote the...
