  2. 1. Evolutionary Approaches to Sequence Alignment

    Author : Marcin Bogusz; Simon Whelan; Jeffrey Thorne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular evolution; multiple sequence alignment; pair hidden Markov models; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Molecular evolutionary biology allows us to look into the past by analyzing sequences of amino acids or nucleotides. These analyses can be very complex, often involving advanced statistical models of sequence evolution to construct phylogenetic trees, study the patterns of natural selection and perform a number of other evolutionary studies.

  4. 2. Rates and patterns of molecular evolution in avian genomes

    Author : Paulina Bolívar; Hans Ellegren; Carina F. Mugal; Mikkel Heide Schierup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular evolution; recombination; GC-biased gene conversion; Hill-Robertson interference; effective population size; dN dS; distribution of fitness effects; avian genomes; collared flycatcher; sex chromosomes; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of a population through subsequent generations. The interplay of several evolutionary mechanisms determines the rate at which this change occurs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Speciation genomics in Ficedula flycatchers

    Author : Madeline Chase; Carina Mugal; Chris Jiggins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recombination; linked selection; selective sweeps; sex chromosomes; structural variation; birds; genome assembly; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Understanding what evolutionary processes have shaped patterns of genomic differentiation between species is a major aim of speciation genomics. However, disentangling the role of different processes that generate similar patterns remains a substantial challenge. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neurospora tetrasperma from Natural Populations : Toward the Population Genomics of a Model Fungus

    Author : Pádraic Corcoran; Hanna Johannesson; Sylvain Glemin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neurospora; poulation genetics; genomes; introgression; Evolutionary Genetics; Evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : The study of DNA sequence variation is a powerful approach to study genome evolution, and to reconstruct evolutionary histories of species. In this thesis, I have studied genetic variation in the fungus Neurospora tetrasperma and other closely related Neurospora species. I have focused on N. READ MORE

  7. 5. Archaeological Genetics - Approaching Human History through DNA Analysis

    Author : Evangelia Daskalaki; Anders Götherström; Mattias Jakobsson; Walther Parson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ancient DNA; pyrosequencing; molecular genetics; aDNA; neolithization; evolutionary genetics; mtDNA; viking age; archaeological genetics; genetik; evolutionsgenetik; naturvetenskap; neolitisering; vikingatid; arkeologisk genetik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : There are a variety of archaeological questions, which are difficult to assess by traditional archaeological methods. Similarly, there are genetic and population genetic questions about human evolution and migration that are difficult to assess by studying modern day genetic variation. READ MORE
