Molecular data have had a profound impact on the field of plant systematics, and the
application of DNA-sequence data to phylogenetic problems is now routine. The majority of …

▪ Abstract Recombination can be a dominant force in shaping genomes and associated
phenotypes. To better understand the impact of recombination on genomic evolution, we …

Recombination is a key evolutionary process that shapes the architecture of genomes and
the genetic structure of populations. Although many statistical methods are available for the …

Recombination is a powerful evolutionary force that merges historically distinct genotypes.
But the extent of recombination within many organisms is unknown, and even determining …

We have developed a modified BOOTSCAN algorithm that may be used to screen
nucleotide sequence alignments for evidence of recombination without prior identification of …

RDP2 is a Windows 95/XP program that examines nucleotide sequence alignments and
attempts to identify recombinant sequences and recombination breakpoints using 10 …

Phylogenetic studies based on DNA sequences typically ignore the potential occurrence of
recombination, which may produce different alignment regions with different evolutionary …

The performance of 14 different recombination detection methods was evaluated by
analyzing several empirical data sets where the presence of recombination has been …

The diversity and evolution of bitter taste perception in mammals is not well understood.
Recent discoveries of bitter taste receptor (T2R) genes provide an opportunity for a genetic …

Chorionic gonadotropin (CG) is a critical signal in establishing pregnancy in humans and
some other primates, but this placentally expressed hormone has not been found in other …
