DOI: 10.1007/s10681-019-2362-0
Abstract: Drought hampers flax yield and oil quality particularly at the reproductive stage. Here, 105 flax accessions were assessed for drought tolerance under irrigated and drought-stressed conditions across three environments using eight stress indices. Total root… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13205-020-02254-w
Abstract: The domestic yak ( Bos grunniens ) from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is an important animal model in high-altitude adaptation studies. Here, we performed the genome-wide selective sweep analysis to identify the candidate copy number variation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.07.007
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the need to understand better animal-to-human transmission of coronaviruses and adaptive evolution within new hosts. We scanned over 182,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes for selective sweep signatures and found a distinct footprint of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/apr.2016.88
Abstract: Abstract We study the impact of a hard selective sweep on the genealogy of partially linked neutral loci in the vicinity of the positively selected allele. We consider a sexual population of stochastically varying size… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01800-0
Abstract: Highly aggressive Africanized honeybees (AHB) invaded Puerto Rico (PR) in 1994, displacing gentle European honeybees (EHB) in many locations. Gentle AHB (gAHB), unknown anywhere else in the world, subsequently evolved on the island within a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyac021
Abstract: A strong reduction in diversity around a specific locus is often interpreted as a recent rapid fixation of a positively selected allele, a phenomenon called a selective sweep. Rapid fixation of neutral variants can however… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.01151-20
Abstract: In biology, research on evolution is important to understand the significance of genetic mutation. When there is a significantly beneficial mutation, a population of species with the mutation prospers and predominates, in a process called… read more here.
