Microsatellites and their application to population genetic studies
MW Bruford, RK Wayne - Current opinion in genetics & development, 1993 - Elsevier
Microsatellites may soon become the markers of choice for molecular population genetic
studies. However, our knowledge of these simple repetitive sequences and how they evolve in …

DNA markers reveal the complexity of livestock domestication
A series of recent genetic studies has revealed the remarkably complex picture of domestication
in both New World and Old World livestock. By comparing mitochondrial and nuclear …

Genomics and the challenging translation into conservation practice
The global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have
been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide …

Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds
To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

A role for ecotones in generating rainforest biodiversity
Gene flow and morphological divergence were measured among 12 populations of a common
species of rainforest passerine. Populations in the forest and the ecotone (the transition …

Revealing the history of sheep domestication using retrovirus integrations
The domestication of livestock represented a crucial step in human history. By using endogenous
retroviruses as genetic markers, we found that sheep differentiated on the basis of their …

Set ambitious goals for biodiversity and sustainability
Global biodiversity policy is at a crossroads. Recent global assessments of living nature (1, 2)
and climate (3) show worsening trends and a rapidly narrowing window for action. The …

A spatial analysis method (SAM) to detect candidate loci for selection: towards a landscape genomics approach to adaptation
The detection of adaptive loci in the genome is essential as it gives the possibility of understanding
what proportion of a genome or which genes are being shaped by natural selection. …
