Gene copy number variation (gCNV) contributes to adaptation along environmental gradient Open
Gene copy number variations (gCNVs) are structural variations that represent a significant source of genetic polymorphism. While single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been the primary focus of population and quantitative genomics, re…

Genetic structure and diversity of the declining orchid <i>Gymnadenia conopsea</i> in Scandinavia: implications for conservation and management Open
Understanding how historical versus contemporary processes shape population genetic structure and diversity is important to design effective management actions for threatened species. We genotyped 1834 SNPs in 1120 individuals from 110 Sca…

Recurrent hybridization and gene flow shaped Norway and Siberian spruce evolutionary history over multiple glacial cycles Open
Most tree species underwent cycles of contraction and expansion during the Quaternary. These cycles led to an ancient and complex genetic structure that has since been affected by extensive gene flow and by strong local adaptation. The ext…

Hybridization mediated range expansion and climate change resilience in two keystone tree species of boreal forests Open
Current global climate change is expected to affect biodiversity negatively at all scales leading to mass biodiversity loss. Many studies have shown that the distribution of allele frequencies across a species' range is often influenced by…

Complex Polyploids: Origins, Genomic Composition, and Role of Introgressed Alleles Open
Introgression allows polyploid species to acquire new genomic content from diploid progenitors or from other unrelated diploid or polyploid lineages, contributing to genetic diversity and facilitating adaptive allele discovery. In some cas…

Despite structural identity, ace-1 heterogenous duplication resistance alleles are quite diverse in Anopheles mosquitoes Open
Anopheles gambiae s.l . has been the target of intense insecticide treatment since the mid-20th century to try and control malaria. A substitution in the ace-1 locus has been rapidly selected for, allowing resistance to organophosphate and…

Core genes driving climate adaptation in plants Open
Closely-related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments1,2. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential, and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary ti…

Phylogenetic Analysis of Allotetraploid Species Using Polarized Genomic Sequences Open
Phylogenetic analysis of polyploid hybrid species has long posed a formidable challenge as it requires the ability to distinguish between alleles of different ancestral origins in order to disentangle their individual evolutionary history.…

Evolutionary trade-offs associated with copy number variations in resistance alleles in Culex pipiens mosquitoes Open
Organophosphate and carbamate insecticides have largely been used worldwide to control mosquito populations. As a response, the same amino acid substitution in the ace-1 gene (G119S), conferring resistance to both insecticides, has been se…
