  1. 16. Drivers of evolutionary change in Podospora anserina

    Författare :Sandra Lorena Ament-Velásquez; Hanna Johannesson; Bengt Olle Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Podospora; Meiotic drive; Spore killing; vegetative incompatibility; heterokaryon incompatibility; allorecognition; speciation; Transposable elements; selfish genetic elements; fungi; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Genomic diversity is shaped by a myriad of forces acting in different directions. Some genes work in concert with the interests of the organism, often shaped by natural selection, while others follow their own interests. The latter genes are considered “selfish”, behaving either neutrally to the host, or causing it harm. LÄS MER

  3. 17. 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. 18. 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

  5. 19. 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

  7. 20. Symbiosis in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Unearthing genomic signatures

    Författare :Shadi Eshghi Sahraei; Anna Rosling; Vasilis Kokkoris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; mutualistic symbiosis; soil microeukaryotic communities; phylogenomics; single spore assembly; gene family evolution; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been on earth since 470 million years ago. AM fungi form mutualistic symbiosis with most terrestrial plants and thus, are thought to have played important roles in land colonization together with plants. LÄS MER
