Using environmental correlations to identify loci underlying local adaptation.
Loci involved in local adaptation can potentially be identified by an unusual correlation between allele frequencies and important ecological variables or by extreme allele frequency differences between geographic regions. However, such comparisons are complicated by differences in sample sizes and the neutral correlation of allele frequencies across populations due to shared history and gene f...
متن کامل1 Using connectivity to identify climatic drivers of local adaptation 2
33 Despite being able to conclusively demonstrate local adaptation, we are still often 34 unable to objectively determine the climatic drivers of local adaptation. Given the 35 rapid rate of global change, understanding the climatic drivers of local adaptation is 36 vital. Not only will this tell us which climate axes matter most to population fitness, 37 but such knowledge is critical to infor...
متن کاملRegional Heritability Mapping to identify loci underlying genetic variation of complex traits
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies can have limited power to identify QTL, partly due to the stringent correction for multiple testing and low linkage-disequilibrium between SNPs and QTL. Regional Heritability Mapping (RHM) has been advanced as an alternative approach to capture underlying genetic effects. In this study, RHM was used to identify loci underlying variation in the 16(th) Q...
متن کاملA joint analysis to identify loci underlying variation in nematode resistance in three European sheep populations
Gastrointestinal nematode infections are one of the main health/economic issues in sheep industries, worldwide. Indicator traits for resistance such as faecal egg count (FEC) are commonly used in genomic studies; however, published results are inconsistent among breeds. Meta (or joint)-analysis is a tool for aggregating information from multiple independent studies. The aim of this study was to...
متن کاملIdentifying coevolving loci using interspecific genetic correlations
Evaluating the importance of coevolution for a wide range of evolutionary questions, such as the role parasites play in the evolution of sexual reproduction, requires that we understand the genetic basis of coevolutionary interactions. Despite its importance, little progress has been made identifying the genetic basis of coevolution, largely because we lack tools designed specifically for this ...
