Distinct patterns of genetic variation at low-recombining genomic regions represent haplotype structure Open
Genomic regions sometimes show patterns of genetic variation distinct from the genome-wide population structure. Such deviations have often been interpreted to represent effects of selection. However, systematic investigation of whether an…

Fine-Scale Map Reveals Highly Variable Recombination Rates Associated with Genomic Features in the Eurasian Blackcap Open
Recombination is responsible for breaking up haplotypes, influencing genetic variability, and the efficacy of selection. Bird genomes lack the protein PR domain-containing protein 9, a key determinant of recombination dynamics in most meta…

Genetic variation of the entire genome represents population structure, yet individual loci can show distinct patterns. Such deviations identified through genome scans have often been attributed to effects of selective factors instead of r…

Transposable elements are mobile genetic elements that have the ability to move around the genome, and as such can be a source of genome variability. Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous and many are found within a wide variety of li…

Historical recombination maps diverge between Eurasian blackcap populations with distinct migratory strategies Open
Recombination generates new combination of alleles, whereby it maintains haplotype diversity and enhances the efficacy of selection. Despite the apparent stasis in positioning recombination events in birds, recombination rates differ widel…
