Quantitative genetics traces its roots back through more than a century of theory, largely
formed in the absence of directly observable genotype data, and has remained essentially …

To understand the genetic mechanisms leading to phenotypic differentiation, it is important
to identify genomic regions under selection. We scanned the genome of two chicken lines …

As Arabidopsis thaliana has colonized a wide range of habitats across the world it is an
attractive model for studying the genetic mechanisms underlying environmental adaptation. Here…

Osteosarcoma is a debilitating bone cancer that affects humans, especially children and
adolescents. A homologous form of osteosarcoma spontaneously occurs in dogs, and its …

The Atlantic herring is a model species for exploring the genetic basis for ecological adaptation,
due to its huge population size and extremely low genetic differentiation at selectively …

The relative role of genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity is of fundamental importance
in evolutionary ecology [MJ West-Eberhard, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 102 (suppl. 1), 6543…

Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most
abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to …

The evolutionary process that occurs when a species colonizes a new environment provides
an opportunity to explore the mechanisms underlying genetic adaptation, which is essential …

The mechanisms underlying sex determination are astonishingly plastic. Particularly the
triggers for the molecular machinery, which recalls either the male or female developmental …

Background Glioblastoma (GBM) has one of the worst 5-year survival rates of all cancers.
While genomic studies of the disease have been performed, alterations in the non-coding …
