Known as a diverse collection of neoplastic diseases, breast cancer (BC) can be
hyperbolically characterized as a dynamic pseudo-organ, a living organism able to build a …

Genomic data are ubiquitous across disciplines, from agriculture to biodiversity, ecology,
evolution and human health. However, these datasets often contain noise or errors and are …

Despite evolutionary biology's obsession with natural selection, few studies have evaluated
multigenerational series of patterns of selection on a genome-wide scale in natural …

The field of genomics has ushered in new methods for studying molecular-genetic variation
in natural populations. However, most population-genomic studies still rely on small sample …

By revealing the influence of recombinational activity beyond what can be achieved with
controlled crosses, measures of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in natural populations provide a …

The population genomics of facultatively sexual organisms are understudied compared with
their abundance across the tree of life. We explore patterns of genetic diversity in two …

Studies of closely related species with known ecological differences provide exceptional
opportunities for understanding the genetic mechanisms of evolution. In this study, we …

Obligate parthenogenesis (OP) is often thought to evolve by disruption of reductional
meiosis and suppression of crossover recombination. In the crustacean Daphnia pulex, OP …

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has a vital role in ribosome biogenesis as it contains the genes that
encode ribosomal RNA (rRNA) separated by intergenic spacers (IGSs). The rRNA genes …

Genetic variants of mitochondrial DNA at the individual (heteroplasmy) and population
(polymorphism) levels provide insight into their roles in multiple cellular and evolutionary …
