During meiosis, crossover rates are not randomly distributed along the chromosome and
their location may have a strong impact on the functioning and evolution of the genome. To …

Understanding local adaptation has become a key research area given the ongoing climate
challenge and the concomitant requirement to conserve genetic resources. Perennial plants …

Populus has a wide ecogeographical range spanning the Northern Hemisphere, and
interspecific hybrids are common. Populus tomentosa Carr. is widely distributed and …

Abstract Characterization of gene family expansions and crossing over is crucial for
understanding how organisms adapt to the environment. Here, we develop a high-density …

GATA transcription factors (TFs) are widespread eukaryotic regulators whose DNA-binding
domain is a class IV zinc finger motif (CX2CX17–20CX2C) followed by a basic region. We …

Natural selection shapes genome‐wide patterns of diversity within species and divergence
between species. However, quantifying the efficacy of selection and elucidating the relative …

Increasing our understanding of how various evolutionary processes drive the genomic
landscape of variation is fundamental to a better understanding of the genomic …

Meiotic recombination is not only fundamental to the adaptation of sexually reproducing
eukaryotes in nature but increased recombination rates facilitate the combination of …

Homologous recombination has been extensively studied in humans and a handful of model
organisms. Much less is known about recombination in other species, including nonhuman …

Recombination is responsible for breaking up haplotypes, influencing genetic variability,
and the efficacy of selection. Bird genomes lack the protein PR domain-containing protein 9 …
