Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Nearly all genetic variants that influence disease risk have human-specific origins; however,
the systems they influence have ancient roots that often trace back to evolutionary events …

Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s,
biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in …

Over the next decade, the primary challenge in human genetics will be to understand the
biological mechanisms by which genetic variants influence phenotypes, including disease …

Fields as diverse as human genetics and sociology are increasingly using polygenic scores
based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for phenotypic prediction. However …

The Pacific region is of major importance for addressing questions regarding human
dispersals, interactions with archaic hominins and natural selection processes. However, the …

Climate change with altered pest-disease dynamics and rising abiotic stresses threatens
resource-constrained agricultural production systems worldwide. Genomics-assisted …

Trade-offs and constraints are inherent to life, and studies of these phenomena play a
central role in both organismal and evolutionary biology. Trade-offs can be defined …

The repeated adaptation of oceanic threespine sticklebacks to fresh water has made it a
premier organism to study parallel evolution. These small fish have multiple distinct …

The idea that individual differences in behavior and physiology can be partly understood by
linking them to a fast-slow continuum of life history strategies has become popular in the …
