  2. 6. Adaptive divergence in fission yeast : From experimental evolution to evolutionary genomics

    Author : Sergio Ivan Tusso Gomez; Jochen B.W. Wolf; Simone Immler; Roger K. Butlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptation; divergence; selection; experimental evolution; genomics; genome evolution; population genetics; fission yeast; phenotypic variation; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : How adaptation and population differentiation occur is fundamental to understand the origin of biodiversity. Work in speciation alongside the increased ease of generating genomic data have allowed the exploration of genomic changes relevant to adaptation. READ MORE

  4. 7. Comparative Genomics in Diplomonads : Lifestyle Variations Revealed at Genetic Level

    Author : Feifei Xu; Jan O. Andersson; Staffan G. Svärd; Matt Berriman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; comparative genomics; Giardia intestinalis; Spironucleus salmonicida; Trepomonas; diplomonad; intestinal parasite; free-living; sexual recombination; hydrogenosome; horizontal gene transfer; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : As sequencing technologies advance genome studies are becoming a basic tool for studying an organism, and with more genomes available comparative genomics is maturing into a powerful tool for biological research. This thesis demonstrates the strength of a comparative genomics approach on a group of understudied eukaryotes, the diplomonads. READ MORE

  5. 8. Gall induction in gall wasps (Cynipidae s. lat.) : Insights from comparative genomics

    Author : Erik Gobbo; Fredrik Ronquist; Scott Egan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gall induction; comparative genomics; evolution; selection analysis; microbiome; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : Cynipidae are a family of wasps (Hymenoptera), whose larval stages develop inside plant galls, that is, abnormal plant structures formed in response to the presence of foreign organisms. Most cynipids are gall inducers and are often capable of notable levels of host manipulation. READ MORE

  6. 9. 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

  7. 10. Genomics and Transcriptomics of Behaviour and Plumage Colouration

    Author : Jesper Fogelholm; Dominic Wright; Göran Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genomics; Transcriptomics; Behaviour; Colour; Gene Expresssion; Domestication.;

    Abstract : The aim throughout this thesis has been to investigate the underlying genetics of behaviours and feather colour and plumage patterns by using chickens as a model organism. Chickens are extremely important as a food source, both in terms of egg, as well as meat production. READ MORE
