Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Risk of disease is multifactorial and can be shaped by socio-economic, demographic,
cultural, environmental and genetic factors. Our understanding of the genetic determinants …

Domestication is a good model for the study of evolutionary processes because of the recent
evolution of crop species (< 12,000 years ago), the key role of selection in their origins, and …

Domesticated crops experience strong human-mediated selection aimed at develo** high-
yielding varieties adapted to local conditions. To detect regions of the wheat genome subject …

The Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) formalization, often referred to as the
Avrami equation, was originally developed to describe the progress of phase …

Organisms can often adapt surprisingly quickly to evolutionary challenges, such as the
application of pesticides or antibiotics, suggesting an abundant supply of adaptive genetic …

Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
tool for detecting loci involved in local adaptation. However, such analyses are complicated …

Understanding why some species have more genetic diversity than others is central to the
study of ecology and evolution, and carries potentially important implications for …

Population genetics theory supplies powerful predictions about how natural selection
interacts with genetic linkage to sculpt the genomic landscape of nucleotide polymorphism …
