Natural selection and the genetics of adaptation in threespine stickleback.
Growing knowledge of the molecular basis of adaptation in wild populations is expanding the study of natural selection. We summarize ongoing efforts to infer three aspects of natural selection--mechanism, form and history--from the genetics of adaptive evolution in threespine stickleback that colonized freshwater after the last ice age. We tested a mechanism of selection for reduced bony armour...
متن کاملNew Nomenclature for Chromatin-Modifying Enzymes
In the last ten years, the importance of chromatin modifications in many aspects of biology has become apparent. Several families of enzymes that modify histones have been identified, the majority of which are conserved throughout evolution. The enormous interest in this field has resulted in a very rapid rate of discovery of new enzymes, but this in turn has lead to a noncoherent nomenclature ...
متن کاملChromatin-modifying enzymes in transcription and cancer
In recent years, our view of how gene expression is controlled has changed dramatically. The discovery of enzymes that modify histones has revealed that transcription is an enzymically driven process. Such modifications can recruit specific proteins and mediate chromatin changes that affect transcription either positively or negatively. Important biological pathways leading to cell proliferatio...
متن کاملThe Evolutionary Biology of the Threespine Stickleback
Because the study of variability lies at the heart of evolutionary biology, species that exhibit considerable variation across their geographic range are of special interest to comparative biologists interested in understanding evolutionary patterns and processes at the species level. Few vertebrates match threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in the extent of geographic variation in...
