Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple pigment cell types contribute to the black, blue, and orange ornaments of male guppies (Poecilia reticulata).

TL;DR: This work identified three types of pigment cells and found that at least two of these contribute to each color trait and the presence of iridophores in each of the investigated color traits is consistent with a key role for this pigment cell type in guppy color pattern formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory elements controlling expression of the Drosophila homeotic gene fork head.

TL;DR: The separation of normally contiguous elements effecting expression in the posterior terminal fkh domain appears to lead to novel expression domains which do not correspond to known developmental units in the embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate indel prediction using paired-end short reads

TL;DR: This work shows that indel classification is a necessary step to reduce the number of false positive candidates and demonstrates that missing classification may lead to spurious biological interpretations.
Journal ArticleDOI

What causes mating system shifts in plants? Arabidopsis lyrata as a case study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study an intraspecific breakdown of self-incompatibility and its consequences in North American Arabidopsis lyrata to test whether particular S-locus haplotypes are associated with the loss of SI and/or the shift to inbreeding.
Book ChapterDOI

Methods for Genotyping-by-Sequencing.

TL;DR: Two protocols for GBS, using the Illumina platform, are presented that can be applied to a wide range of genotyping projects in different species, and each is for preparing inexpensive paired-end whole-genome libraries.
