  1. ...is available for this article.] The rate of mutation is one of the most central parameters in evolutionary and population genetics (Lynch 2010a) but is notoriously difficult to accurately estimate. The primary difficulty lies in that mutation rates are extremely low (Drake et al. 1998; Lynch 2010a...
  2. ...to address long-standing questions regarding the extent to which divergence and speciation occurs in the face of ongoing gene flow. One prediction of models of speciation with gene flow is that the level of divergence should be heterogeneous across the . Some loci are likely to be shared between incipient...
  3. ...emphasize the necessity of incorporating linked selection as a model to identify regions involved in adaptation and speciation. [Supplemental material is available for this article.] Uncovering the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation and its evolutionary history are central tasks...
  4. ...a hidden Markov model that directly infers the local genealogy of the human, chimpanzee, and orangutan species to show that ILS occurswithin;1%of the .Weuse thepatterns of ILS to disentangle human–orangutan speciation from human– orangutan divergence. This allows us to estimate the population sizes...
  5. ...). With the default minimum variant length parameter L = 50 and correcting for sequencing coverage, estimated interspecies SV proportion ranged from 4.73% to 9.86% (mean, 7.11%), with smaller values within the mbuna (mean, 5.45%) and benthic (mean, 5.20%) groups. The estimated differences were much lower within...
  6. ...free parameters to the Jukes and Cantor (1969) model: Usually the nucleotide equilibrium frequencies can be estimated by simply analyzing base composition in the DNA sequences under study. Hasegawa and coworkers (1985) implemented transition/transversion bias in Felsenstein’s model, effectively...
  7. ...diversification, adaptation, and speciation. To better understand the changes that occurred in the different subs of a hybrid species and how they facilitate adaptation, we have completed chromosome-level de novo assemblies of all chromosomes for a recently formed hybrid yeast, Saccharomyces bayanus strain CBS380...
  8. ...regions per megabase aligned per million years diverged for different animal clades.DiscussionGenome scrambling and speciationOur study design, combined with the recent divergence times estimated for O. dioica, allowed us to study scrambling on a finer timescale than was reached by previous studies...
  9. ...comprising more than 49 megabases of DNA. Finally, we provide a list of 182 candidate genes potentially involved in gibbon diversification and speciation.A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is to establish how Hominina diverged from apes, starting from a common ancestor. It is common knowledge...
  10. ....keightley@ed.ac.ukAbstractGenetic variation originates from several types of spontaneous mutation, including single-nucleotide substitutions, short insertions and deletions (indels), and larger structural changes. Structural mutations (SMs) drive evolution and are thought to play major roles in evolutionary adaptation, speciation...
