On the relative roles of background selection and genetic hitchhiking in shaping human cytomegalovirus genetic diversity

Jeffrey David Jensen

A central focus of population genetics has been examining the contribution of selective and neutral processes in shaping patterns of intraspecies diversity. In terms of selection specifically, surveys of higher organisms have shown considerable variation i ...

TEMPLE: analysing population genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites

Stefan Jean Laurent, Maria Litovchenko

Genetic variation occurring at the level of regulatory sequences can affect phenotypes and fitness in natural populations. This variation can be analysed in a population genetic framework to study how genetic drift and selection affect the evolution of the ...

Construction of pDYN6902, a new Streptomyces integrative expression vector designed for cloning sequences interfering with Escherichia coli viability

Julien Hiblot

We describe here the construction of a new version of the Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle cloning vector pIJ6902, which carries the original thiostrepton-inducible PtipA as well as the integrative and cloning systems, but with the E. coil low copy nu ...

The role of fluctuations in ecological patterns and processes

Andrea Giometto

Fluctuations are ubiquitous in nature and are relevant for nearly every ecological process. The main sources of fluctuations in population abundances are demographic and environmental stochasticity, whose effect on local population dynamics, metapopulation ...

Inferences of Demography and Selection in an African Population of Drosophila melanogaster

Jeffrey David Jensen

It remains a central problem in population genetics to infer the past action of natural selection, and these inferences pose a challenge because demographic events will also substantially affect patterns of polymorphism and divergence. Thus it is imperativ ...

Historical contingency affects signaling strategies and competitive abilities in evolving populations of simulated robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

One of the key innovations during the evolution of life on earth has been the emergence of efficient communication systems, yet little is known about the causes and consequences of the great diversity within and between species. By conducting experimental ...

Evidence Of Adaptation From Ancestral Variation In Young Populations Of Beach Mice

Jeffrey David Jensen

To understand how organisms adapt to novel habitats, which involves both demographic and selective events, we require knowledge of the evolutionary history of populations and also selected alleles. There are still few cases in which the precise mutations ( ...
