Understanding the joint effects of gene flow and selection is one of the more important but difficult areas of evolutionary genetics. A method is presented to describe cases of gene flow–selection ...

Studies of intermixture are shown to be of considerable use for distinguishing alíeles upon which selective forces are acting. Some of the statistical and methodological problems associated with the ...

Rates of gene flow and neighborhood area were investigated in the selfing annual, Triticum dicoccoides. The collection of seed material was made using a spatial hierarchical sampling design in which ...

Giraffes, with their bizarre body plan, have always held a special place in the minds of evolutionary biologists and non-experts alike. In a new study whole-genome sequencing data was used to ...

Gene flow from genetically modified crop plants to their wild relatives will have little overall impact on human health or the environment, predicts a team of researchers in a report released today by ...

In a major step toward one day offering gene-based customized medicine, scientists on Thursday unveiled the first map of common human genetic variations — patterns of DNA differences that may help ...

Growers of conventional, organic and genetically engineered alfalfa can all co-exist in the marketplace if they adopt appropriate agricultural practices, according to a recently released report that ...
