Recent advances and current challenges in population genomics of structural variation in animals and plants

I Pokrovac, Ž Pezer - Frontiers in genetics, 2022 - frontiersin.org
The field of population genomics has seen a surge of studies on genomic structural variation
over the past two decades. These studies witnessed that structural variation is taxonomically …

Parallel adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa is dominated by repeated recruitment of shared alleles

V Konečná, S Bray, J Vlček, M Bohutínská… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Relative contributions of pre-existing vs de novo genomic variation to adaptation are poorly

Genomic evidence for domestication selection in three hatchery populations of Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha

NS Howe, MC Hale, CD Waters… - Evolutionary …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Fish hatcheries are widely used to enhance fisheries and supplement declining wild
populations. However, substantial evidence suggests that hatchery fish are subject to …

Reinventing the wheel? Reassessing the roles of gene flow, sorting and convergence in repeated evolution

JM Waters, GA McCulloch - Molecular Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Biologists have long been intrigued by apparently predictable and repetitive evolutionary
trajectories inferred across a variety of lineages and systems. In recent years, high …

Genome architecture and diverged selection sha** pattern of genomic differentiation in wild barley

W Zhang, C Tan, H Hu, R Pan, Y **ao… - Plant biotechnology …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Divergent selection of populations in contrasting environments leads to functional genomic
divergence. However, the genomic architecture underlying heterogeneous genomic …

Inversions contribute disproportionately to parallel genomic divergence in dune sunflowers

K Huang, KL Ostevik, M Jahani, M Todesco… - Nature Ecology & …, 2024 - nature.com
The probability of parallel genetic evolution is a function of the strength of selection and
constraints imposed by genetic architecture. Inversions capture locally adapted alleles and …
