  3. 2. Sexual Conflict and Gene Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

    Författare :Paolo Innocenti; Edward Morrow; Göran Arnqvist; Andrew G Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sexual conflict; sexual selection; male-female coevolution; gene expression; transcriptome; microarrays; sexual dimorphism; Drosophila; Biology; Biologi; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Sexual conflict is broadly defined as a conflict between the evolutionary interests of the two sexes. Depending on the genetic architecture of the traits involved, it can occur at the level of male-female interactions or take the form of selection acting to change the mean of a shared trait against the sign of its genetic correlation.

  4. 3. Genome Variation in Human Populations : Exploring the Effects of Demographic History and the Potential for Mapping of Complex Traits

    Författare :Åsa Johansson; Ulf Gyllensten; Marta Alarcon; Andrew Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Genetics; genetics; evolution; microsatellie; SNP; selection; linkage disequilibrium; haplotype; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : A major challenge in human genetics is to understand the genetic variation underlying common diseases. In this thesis, I focus on forces creating differences between individuals and genomic regions, methods for characterizing genomic variation, and the association between genomic and phenotypic variation.
