  1. 21. The Genetics of Speciation and Colouration in Carrion and Hooded Crows

    Författare :Jelmer Poelstra; Jochen Wolf; Hans Ellegren; Chris Jiggins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolutionary genetics; genomics; birds; next-generation sequencing; pigmentation; pigmentation genetics; eumelanin; social selection; gene expression; population genomics; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : A fundamental goal in biological research is to gain an understanding of the evolutionary processes and genetic elements that drive speciation. Genes responsible for reproductive isolation in young divergent lineages are particularly poorly known. In this thesis, the speciation genetics of carrion (Corvus (corone) corone) and hooded (C. LÄS MER

  3. 22. On the Evolution of the Avian Transcriptome

    Författare :Severin Uebbing; Hans Ellegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolution; gene expression; regulation; RNA-seq; transcriptomics; proteomics; sex chromosome; dosage compensation; divergence; ASE; birds; Ficedula; flycatcher; chicken; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Change in gene expression is a powerful tool for evolution, because seemingly small expression changes can contribute important steps towards adaptation without necessarily affecting the whole organism. There is still much to learn about how gene expression evolves on genome- and population-wide levels, especially in non-model organisms. LÄS MER

  4. 23. The evolution of sexual dimorphism and its genetic underpinnings

    Författare :Philipp Kaufmann; Elina Immonen; Tim Connallon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sexual conflict; sex-specific dominance; maintenance of genetic variance; sexual antagonism; sex chromosomes; Y haplotypes; artificial selection; sexual dimorphism; Callosobruchus maculatus; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Sexual dimorphism often constitutes the largest phenotypic variance within species but it is puzzling how sexual dimorphisms evolve because most of the genome is shared between the sexes. Sexually antagonistic (SA) selection on a shared genome sets the stage for intralocus sexual conflict. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Speciation genomics in Ficedula flycatchers

    Författare :Madeline Chase; Carina Mugal; Chris Jiggins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recombination; linked selection; selective sweeps; sex chromosomes; structural variation; birds; genome assembly; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding what evolutionary processes have shaped patterns of genomic differentiation between species is a major aim of speciation genomics. However, disentangling the role of different processes that generate similar patterns remains a substantial challenge. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Adaptive divergence in fission yeast : From experimental evolution to evolutionary genomics

    Författare :Sergio Ivan Tusso Gomez; Jochen B.W. Wolf; Simone Immler; Roger K. Butlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptation; divergence; selection; experimental evolution; genomics; genome evolution; population genetics; fission yeast; phenotypic variation; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : How adaptation and population differentiation occur is fundamental to understand the origin of biodiversity. Work in speciation alongside the increased ease of generating genomic data have allowed the exploration of genomic changes relevant to adaptation. LÄS MER
