Multiplexed-shotgun-genotyping data resolve phylogeny within a very recently derived insular lineage.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Endemic plants on oceanic islands have long served as model systems for studying patterns and processes of evolution. However, phylogenetic studies of island plants frequently illustrate a decoupling of molecular divergence and ecological/morphological diversity, resulting in phylogenies lacking the resolution required to interpret patterns of evolution in a phylogenetic co...
متن کاملMultiple-Ancestor Localization for Recently Admixed Individuals
Inference of ancestry from genetic data is a fundamental problem in computational genetics, with wide applications in human genetics and population genetics. The treatment of ancestry as a continuum instead of a categorical trait has been recently advocated in the literature. Particularly, it was shown that a European individual’s geographic coordinates of origin can be determined up to a few h...
متن کاملProtein-Coding Genes’ Retrocopies and Their Functions
Transposable elements, often considered to be not important for survival, significantly contribute to the evolution of transcriptomes, promoters, and proteomes. Reverse transcriptase, encoded by some transposable elements, can be used in trans to produce a DNA copy of any RNA molecule in the cell. The retrotransposition of protein-coding genes requires the presence of reverse transcriptase, whi...
متن کاملMolecular assessment of the phylogeny and biogeography of a recently diversified endemic group of South American canids (Mammalia: Carnivora: Canidae)
To investigate the evolution and biogeography of an endemic group of South American foxes, we examined mitochondrial DNA control region sequences for 118 individuals belonging to all six extant species of the genus Lycalopex. Phylogenetic and molecular dating analyses supported the inference that this genus has undergone a very recent and rapid radiation, stemming from a common ancestor that li...
متن کاملFGF4 retrogene on CFA12 is responsible for chondrodystrophy and intervertebral disc disease in dogs
Chondrodystrophy in dogs is defined by dysplastic, shortened long bones and premature degeneration and calcification of intervertebral discs. Independent genome-wide association analyses for skeletal dysplasia (short limbs) within a single breed (PBonferroni = 0.01) and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) across breeds (PBonferroni = 4.0 × 10-10) both identified a significant association to the ...
