Extreme genomic variation in a natural population.
Whole-genome sequence data from samples of natural populations provide fertile grounds for analyses of intraspecific variation and tests of population genetic theory. We show that the urochordate Ciona savignyi, one of the species of ocean-dwelling broadcast spawners commonly known as sea squirts, exhibits the highest rates of single-nucleotide and structural polymorphism ever comprehensively q...
متن کاملGenic Variation in a Natural Population
-The understanding of the speciation process can best be achieved by a knowledge of the genic differences between two closely related species and the correlation of such differences with the characteristics which demarcate the two species. D. persimilis and D. pseudoobscura are two sibling species differing from each other in morphology, ecological preferences, and behavior, and no hybrids exis...
متن کاملThe Standing Pool of Genomic Structural Variation in a Natural Population of Mimulus guttatus
Major unresolved questions in evolutionary genetics include determining the contributions of different mutational sources to the total pool of genetic variation in a species, and understanding how these different forms of genetic variation interact with natural selection. Recent work has shown that structural variants (SVs) (insertions, deletions, inversions, and transpositions) are a major sou...
متن کاملExtreme Mitogenomic Variation in Natural Populations of Chaetognaths
The extent of within-species genetic variation across the diversity of animal life is an underexplored problem in ecology and evolution. Although neutral genetic variation should scale positively with population size, mitochondrial diversity levels are believed to show little variation across animal species. Here, we report an unprecedented case of extreme mitochondrial diversity within natural...
متن کاملPopulation genetic inference from genomic sequence variation.
Population genetics has evolved from a theory-driven field with little empirical data into a data-driven discipline in which genome-scale data sets test the limits of available models and computational analysis methods. In humans and a few model organisms, analyses of whole-genome sequence polymorphism data are currently under way. And in light of the falling costs of next-generation sequencing...
