Investigating the genetic basis of vertebrate dispersal combining RNA-seq, RAD-seq and quantitative genetics

Although animal dispersal is known to play key roles in ecological and evolutionary processes such as colonization, population extinction and local adaptation, little is known about its genetic basis, particularly in vertebrates. Untapping the genetic basis of dispersal should deepen our understanding of how dispersal behaviour evolves, the molecular mechanisms…

Tiny crustacean reveals deepest parts of oceans like isolated islands

A tiny crustacean measuring just three centimetres in length is helping scientists unlock one of the most perplexing questions of the oceans’ hadal zone–how isolated are the animals that live in our deepest ocean trenches? A new paper Barriers to gene flow in the deepest ocean ecosystem: Evidence from global population…

Assessment of genetic diversity and SNP marker development within peanut germplasm in Taiwan by RAD-seq

The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil crop but has a narrow genetic diversity. Molecular markers can be used to probe the genetic diversity of various germplasm. In this study, the restriction site associated DNA (RAD) approach was utilized to sequence 31 accessions of Taiwanese peanut germplasm,…

Read counts an order of magnitude higher on one chromosome

Read counts an order of magnitude higher on one chromosome 3 Hi, I am having an issue with a sequencing run that when demultiplexed, aligned, and filtered each individual has 1-2 million reads, but these reads are predominantly on one chromosome. For background these are oncorhynchus mykiss and o. clarki…

Frontiers | Divergence With Gene Flow and Contrasting Population Size Blur the Species Boundary in Cycas Sect. Asiorientales, as Inferred From Morphology and RAD-Seq Data

Introduction Incipient species are critical for evolutionary biologists to study speciation, but they also challenge taxonomy due to gene flow or ancestral polymorphism. The former and contrasting population size lead to larger intraspecific than interspecific variations, a phenomenon called the species-definition anomaly zone (Jiao and Yang, 2021). The latter results…
