Unraveling the genetic basis of organismal form and function remains one of the major goals
of evolutionary biology. Theory has long supported a model of polygenic evolution in which …

Establishing the genetic and molecular basis underlying adaptive traits is one of the major
goals of evolutionary geneticists in order to understand the connection between genotype …

Recent substantial advances in high-throughput field phenoty** have provided plant
breeders with affordable and efficient tools for evaluating a large number of genotypes for …

ABSTRACTS Genome-wide association studies are a powerful tool to identify genomic

Background Variety genuineness and purity are essential indices of maize seed quality that
affect yield. However, detection methods for variety genuineness are time-consuming …

Sheep are considered as a major contributor of global food security. Moreover, sheep
preweaning growth traits as well as in vivo carcass composition traits such as ultrasonic …

Anadromous Chinook salmon populations vary in the period of river entry at the initiation of
adult freshwater migration, facilitating optimal arrival at natal spawning. Run timing is a …

Studies are being conducted on the applicability of genomic data to improve the accuracy of
the selection process in livestock, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide …

Parallel changes in body shape may evolve in response to similar environmental conditions,
but whether such parallel phenotypic changes share a common genetic basis is still …

In this study, to identify genomic signatures of divergent selection, we genotyped 10 cattle
breeds/populations (n= 275), representing eight Ethiopian cattle populations (n= 229) and …
