Population genetics: A new apportionment of human diversity
A worldwide survey of polymorphic molecular markers shows that the human population is genetically homogeneous, in close agreement with evidence from quite different genes and traits.
متن کاملApplications of Population Genetics to Conservation of Chinook Salmon Diversity in the Central Valley
Population genetics is playing an increasingly important role in the conservation of salmonid resources in the Pacific Northwest. The National Marine Fisheries Service considers a salmon population worthy of conservation under the U.S. Endangered Species Act if it represents an Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU), “...a population (or group of populations) that (1) is substantially reproductive...
متن کاملLandscape genetics, adaptive diversity and population structure in Phaseolus vulgaris.
Here we studied the organization of genetic variation of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in its centres of domestication. We used 131 single nucleotide polymorphisms to investigate 417 wild common bean accessions and a representative sample of 160 domesticated genotypes, including Mesoamerican and Andean genotypes, for a total of 577 accessions. By analysing the genetic spatial patterns of...
متن کاملThe population genetics of mimetic diversity in Heliconius butterflies.
Theory predicts strong stabilizing selection on warning patterns within species and convergent evolution among species in Müllerian mimicry systems yet Heliconius butterflies exhibit extreme wing pattern diversity. One potential explanation for the evolution of this diversity is that genetic drift occasionally allows novel warning patterns to reach the frequency threshold at which they gain pro...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of human pigmentation diversity.
The genetic basis underlying normal variation in the pigmentary traits of skin, hair and eye colour has been the subject of intense research directed at understanding the diversity seen both between and within human populations. A combination of approaches have been used including comparative genomics of candidate genes and the identification of regions of the human genome under positive select...
