Long-term artificial selection of Hanwoo (Korean) cattle left genetic signatures for the breeding traits and has altered the genomic structure
Cattle are among the largest populations of domesticated animals and used as food resources for humans; therefore, their phenotypes and genetic structure have been shaped by artificial selection for human needs and natural adaptation to environmental changes. The phenotypic selection causes genomic changes in breeding traits within breeds, resulting in…

An intronic transposon insertion associates with a trans-species color polymorphism in Midas cichlid fishes
Conflicting results suggest a missing variant In order to narrow down candidates for the causal genetic variant, we performed genome-wide association mapping separately in individual lake populations (previously, association mapping was only performed across the whole species flock5). Interestingly, despite clear association peaks in the crater lakes (Fig. 1a, b), the…
Genetic diversity and selection in Puerto Rican horses
Horses have been considered one of our most prized possessions, used for travel, work, food, and pleasure for at least five and a half millennia17,18,19,20.

Very important pharmacogene variants in the Blang population
Introduction The use of drugs should be different among diverse ethnic groups because of differences in ethnicity, age, sex, environmental factors and genetic factors. If these differences are ignored, then drug sensitivity, metabolic rate, and adverse reactions are affected, which influences the curative effect of drugs and aggravates the illness…

Parallel genomic responses to historical climate change and high elevation in East Asian songbirds
Extreme environments present profound physiological stress. The adaptation of closely related species to these environments is likely to invoke congruent genetic responses resulting in similar physiological and/or morphological adaptations, a process termed “parallel evolution” (1). Existing evidence shows that parallel evolution is more common at the phenotypic level than at…

Strong within-host selection in a maternally inherited obligate symbiont: Buchnera and aphids
Significance Many animals depend on maternally transmitted symbiotic bacteria that provide nutrients or other benefits. The evolution of these symbionts is complicated: natural selection can act on hosts, favoring symbionts that increase host reproduction, or on symbionts, favoring symbionts that spread within hosts. Furthermore, transmission bottlenecks can facilitate the spread…
