As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

Since its first release in 2001 as mainly a software package for phylogenetic analysis, data
analysis for molecular biology and evolution (DAMBE) has gained many new functions that …

For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

Reproductive isolation in plants occurs through multiple barriers that restrict gene flow
between populations, but their origins remain uncertain. Work in the past decade has shown …

Here we present a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).
Through comparison with the human genome, we have generated a largely complete …

Transposable elements are mobile genetic units that exhibit broad diversity in their structure
and transposition mechanisms. Transposable elements occupy a large fraction of many …

The role of chromosomal inversions in adaptation and speciation is controversial.
Historically, inversions were thought to contribute to these processes either by directly …

We study the evolution of inversions that capture locally adapted alleles when two
populations are exchanging migrants or hybridizing. By suppressing recombination between …
