Linkage disequilibrium—the nonrandom association of alleles at different loci—is a sensitive
indicator of the population genetic forces that structure a genome. Because of the explosive …

During the past 65 million years, Alu elements have propagated to more than one million
copies in primate genomes, which has resulted in the generation of a series of Alu …

Particular alleles at neighbouring loci tend to be co-inherited. For tightly linked loci, this
might lead to associations between alleles in the population—a property known as linkage …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

We resequenced 876 short fragments in a sample of 96 individuals of Arabidopsis thaliana
that included stock center accessions as well as a hierarchical sample from natural …

Gene conversion, one of the two mechanisms of homologous recombination, involves the
unidirectional transfer of genetic material from a'donor'sequence to a highly homologous' …

Meiotic recombination has a central role in the evolution of sexually reproducing organisms.
The two recombination outcomes, crossover and non-crossover, increase genetic diversity …

There is great interest in the patterns and extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in humans
and other species. Characterizing LD is of central importance for gene-mapping studies and …

Associations of the seven-repeat (7R) allele of the human dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4)
gene with both the personality trait of novelty seeking and attention deficit/hyperactivity …

Diabetes encompasses a heterogeneous group of diseases, each with a substantial genetic
component. We review the division of diabetes into different subtypes based on clinical …
