  1. 1. Nucleotide Substitution Patterns in Vertebrate Genomes

    Författare :Carina Farah Mugal; Hans Ellegren; Ziheng Yang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nucleotide substitutions; mutation rate variation; strand asymmetries; CpG effect; GC-biased gene conversion; codon evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : The rates and patterns at which nucleotide substitutions occur vary significantly across the genome sequence of vertebrates. A prominent example is the difference in the rate of evolution of functional sequences versus nonfunctional (neutrally evolving) sequences, which is explained by the influence of natural selection on functional sequences.

  3. 2. Rates and patterns of molecular evolution in avian genomes

    Författare :Paulina Bolívar; Hans Ellegren; Carina F. Mugal; Mikkel Heide Schierup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular evolution; recombination; GC-biased gene conversion; Hill-Robertson interference; effective population size; dN dS; distribution of fitness effects; avian genomes; collared flycatcher; sex chromosomes; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of a population through subsequent generations. The interplay of several evolutionary mechanisms determines the rate at which this change occurs. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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
