DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2919
Abstract: Abstract Detecting signatures of selection can provide a new insight into the mechanism of contemporary breeding and artificial selection and further reveal the causal genes associated to the phenotypic variation. However, the signatures of selection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-6361-2
Abstract: BackgroundSalmonid fishes are characterised by a very high level of variation in trophic, ecological, physiological, and life history adaptations. Some salmonid taxa show exceptional potential for fast, within-lake diversification into morphologically and ecologically distinct variants,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0210751
Abstract: The genetic differentiation of the current horse population was evolutionarily created by natural or artificial selection which shaped the genomes of individual breeds in several unique ways. The availability of high throughput genotyping methods created… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins14120842
Abstract: The evolution of venom and the selection pressures that act on toxins have been increasingly researched within toxinology in the last two decades, in part due to the exceptionally high rates of diversifying selection observed… read more here.
