Climate change is reshaping the breeding target itself. Beyond shifts in mean temperature and precipitation, breeders increasingly face greater interannual ...

“Inversions in the Malawi cichlid adaptive radiation show supergene-­like signs of adaptive evolution and repeated ...

Climate change is driving drastic environmental shifts and accelerating global biodiversity loss. Hybrid introgression has recently emerged as a key mechanism enabling rapid adaptation to historical ...

Fernando Villanea's co-authored article,"The MUC19 gene: An evolutionary history of recurrent introgression and natural selection," published in the journal Science and featured in CU Boulder Today.

The identification of a new hominin group called Denisovans was one of the most exciting discoveries in human evolution in the last decade. Unlike Neanderthal remains, the Denisovan fossil record ...

This repository contains scripts and resources used in the study "Exploring Adaptive Introgression in Modern Human Circadian Rhythm Genes," which is currently available as a preprint on bioRxiv. The ...

This study aims to analyse the effect of polymorphism on meiotic recombination in subspecies of Saccharomyces. The detection of reciprocal and non-reciprocal events is based on sequencing the haploid ...

(A) Visual representation of how our crosses were conducted. Haploid yeast from two genetically distinct parental strains are mated to produce a heterozygous diploid. Meiosis is induced and the ...

Polyploidy, which results from the duplication of an organism’s entire genome, is a known source of genetic novelty that promotes speciation, thus contributing to the evolution and distribution of ...
