Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

Direct observation of evolution in response to natural environmental change can resolve
fundamental questions about adaptation, including its pace, temporal dynamics, and …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes but they have also supplied human societies with …

Massively parallel short‐read sequencing technologies, coupled with powerful software
platforms, are enabling investigators to analyse tens of thousands of genetic markers. This …

Abstract Infection with Asian-lineage Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with Guillain–
