Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding the Genomic Basis of Local Adaptation: Pitfalls, Practical Solutions, and Future Directions.

TL;DR: The promises and challenges of these genome scan methods are reviewed, including correcting for the confounding influence of a species’ demographic history, biases caused by missing aspects of the genome, matching scales of environmental data with population structure, and other statistical considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breaking RAD: an evaluation of the utility of restriction site-associated DNA sequencing for genome scans of adaptation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that genome scans based on RADseq data alone, while useful for studies of neutral genetic variation and genetic population structure, will likely miss many loci under selection in studies of local adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polytene Chromosomal Maps of 11 Drosophila Species: The Order of Genomic Scaffolds Inferred From Genetic and Physical Maps

TL;DR: The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping of assembled scaffolds.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Course-Based Research Experience: How Benefits Change with Increased Investment in Instructional Time

Christopher D. Shaffer, +88 more
TL;DR: While course-based research in genomics can generate both knowledge gains and a greater appreciation for how science is done, a significant investment of course time is required to enable students to show gains commensurate to a summer research experience.
