High-throughput techniques based on restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq)
are enabling the low-cost discovery and genotyping of thousands of genetic markers for any …

Evolutionary adaptation drives biodiversity. So far, however, evolutionary thinking has had
limited impact on plans to counter the effects of climate change on biodiversity and …

Understanding how and why populations evolve is of fundamental importance to molecular
ecology. Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD seq), a popular reduced …

Six extant species of non-human great apes are currently recognized: Sumatran and
Bornean orangutans, eastern and western gorillas, and chimpanzees and bonobos [1] …

Massive defaunation and high extinction rates have become characteristic of the
Anthropocene. Genetic effects of population decline can lead populations into an extinction …

Next-generation sequencing technologies have increased markedly the throughput of
genetic studies, allowing the identification of several thousands of SNPs within a single …

Genetic polymorphisms, particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been
widely used to advance quantitative, functional and evolutionary genomics. Ideally, all …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provide great resources to study bird
evolution and avian functional genomics. They also allow for the identification of suitable …

Background Many areas critical to agricultural production and research, such as the
breeding and trait mapping in plants and livestock, require robust and scalable genotyping …

The great apes are the closest living relatives of humans. Chimpanzees and bonobos group
together with humans, while gorillas and orangutans are more divergent from humans. Here …
