Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive genic evolution in the Drosophila genomes.
Joshua A. Shapiro,Wei Huang,Chenhui Zhang,Melissa J. Hubisz,Jian Lu,David A. Turissini,Shu Fang,Hurng-Yi Wang,Richard R. Hudson,Rasmus Nielsen,Zhu Chen,Chung-I Wu +11 more
TL;DR: The theories and data pertaining to the interpretation of adaptive evolution in genomic studies are discussed and the low level of polymorphism observed in regions of reduced recombination may not be driven primarily by positive selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Test of the Snowball Theory for the Rate of Evolution of Hybrid Incompatibilities
TL;DR: Two studies support the theory that the number of genes involved in hybrid incompatibility increases faster than linearly with the divergence time between species, and show that a hybrid snowball effect is found in both plants and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species boundaries in the human pathogen Paracoccidioides
TL;DR: It is hypothesized and further demonstrated that the mito-nuclear incongruence in the brasiliensis species complex results from interspecific hybridization and mitochondrial introgression, a common phenomenon in eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequences Reveal Cryptic Speciation in the Human Pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum.
Victoria E. Sepúlveda,Roberto Márquez,David A. Turissini,William E. Goldman,Daniel R. Matute +4 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide population genetics and phylogenetic analyses with 30 Histoplasma isolates representing four recognized areas where histoplasmosis is endemic show that the histoplasma genus is composed of at least four species that are genetically isolated and rarely interbreed and propose a taxonomic rearrangement of the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine scale mapping of genomic introgressions within the Drosophila yakuba clade.
TL;DR: The genomic extent of introgression between the three species of the Drosophila yakuba clade is quantified and a new statistical framework, using a hidden Markov approach, is developed and applied to identify introgressed segments.
