Population Structure and Eigenanalysis
Current methods for inferring population structure from genetic data do not provide formal significance tests for population differentiation. We discuss an approach to studying ...
THE USE OF RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASES TO MEASURE MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCE RELATEDNESS IN NATURAL POPULATIONS. I. POPULATION STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION IN THE GENUS PEROMYSCUS
ABSTRACT In this study we introduce to natural population analysis a molecular technique that involves the use of restriction endonucleases to compare mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ...
CALIBRATING DIVERGENCE TIMES ON SPECIES TREES VERSUS GENE TREES: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPECIATION HISTORY OF APHELOCOMA JAYS
Estimates of the timing of divergence are central to testing the underlying causes of speciation. Relaxed molecular clocks and fossil calibration have improved these estimates; ...
Position effect variegation and chromatin proteins
Abstract Variegated phenotypes often result from chromosomal rearrangements that place euchromatic genes next to heterochromatin. In such rearrangements, the condensed structure...
Structure and History of African Elephant Populations: I. Eastern and Southern Africa
Patterns of restriction site variation within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 270 individuals were used to examine the current structure of savanna elephant populations and to infe...
