recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Heredity"

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-018-0060-7

Abstract: Balancing selection has been inferred in diverse organisms for nonself recognition genes, including those involved in immunity, mating compatibility, and vegetative incompatibility. Although selective forces maintaining polymorphisms are known for genes involved in immunity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09806-6

Abstract: Colour polymorphisms play a key role in sexual selection and speciation, yet the mechanisms that generate and maintain them are not fully understood. Here, we use genomic and transcriptomic tools to identify the precise genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-56117-y

Abstract: Balancing selection has been shown to be common in plants for several different types of traits, such as self-incompatibility and heterostyly. Generally, for these traits balancing selection is generated by interactions among individuals or between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1909216116

Abstract: Significance What factors maintain genetic variation in natural populations? Opposing selection pressures on protein stability and catalytic activity are thought to maintain variation along thermal gradients in many enzymes. We examined a classic hypothesis of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa013

Abstract: Abstract Long-term balancing selection results in a build-up of alleles at similar frequencies and a deficit of substitutions when compared with an outgroup at a locus. The previously published β(1) statistics detect balancing selection using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evae009

Abstract: Abstract Regions under balancing selection are characterized by dense polymorphisms and multiple persistent haplotypes, along with other sequence complexities. Successful identification of these patterns depends on both the statistical approach and the quality of sequencing.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evz191

Abstract: Abstract Genes involved in immune defense against pathogens provide some of the most well-known examples of both directional and balancing selection. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are innate immune effector genes, playing a key role in pathogen… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyab055

Abstract: Balancing selection (BLS) is the evolutionary force that maintains high levels of genetic variability in many important genes. To further our understanding of its evolutionary significance, we analyse models with BLS acting on a biallelic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyad069

Abstract: Studying the signatures of evolution can help to understand genetic processes. Here we demonstrate how the existence of balancing selection can be used to identify the breeding systems of fungi from genomic data. The breeding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac102

Abstract: Abstract Balancing selection is a classic mechanism for maintaining variability in immune genes involved in host–pathogen interactions. However, it remains unclear how widespread the mechanism is across immune genes other than the major histocompatibility complex… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Molecular Biology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msae079

Abstract: Abstract In fungi, fusion between individuals leads to localized cell death, a phenomenon termed heterokaryon incompatibility. Generally, the genes responsible for this incompatibility are observed to be under balancing selection resulting from negative frequency-dependent selection.… read more here.
