Abstract Changes in gene expression are thought to underlie many of the phenotypic
differences between species. However, large-scale analyses of gene expression evolution were …

We are in a phase of unprecedented progress in identifying genetic loci that cause variation
in traits ranging from growth and fitness in simple organisms to disease in humans. However…

The genetic changes underlying the initial steps of animal domestication are still poorly
understood. We generated a high-quality reference genome for the rabbit and compared it to …

It is now possible to perform whole-genome shotgun sequencing as well as capture of specific
genomic regions for extinct organisms. However, targeted resequencing of large parts of …

To better understand the biology of tameness, ie tolerance of human presence and handling,
we analyzed two lines of wild-derived rats (Rattus norvegicus) artificially selected for …

Genetic mapping studies of quantitative traits typically focus on detecting loci that contribute
additively to trait variation. Genetic interactions are often proposed as a contributing factor to …

Domestication has led to similar changes in morphology and behavior in several animal
species, raising the question whether similarities between different domestication events also …

Variation among individuals arises in part from differences in DNA sequences, but the
genetic basis for variation in most traits, including common diseases, remains only partly …

… Frank W Albert … data from F 0 animals discussed in this article are the same as presented in

The analysis of introgression of genomic regions between divergent populations provides
an excellent opportunity to determine the genetic basis of reproductive isolation during the …
