Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms reveal population history and adaptive divergence in wild guppies.

TL;DR: Overall, this study demonstrates the power of a genome‐wide SNP data set to inform for studies on natural variation, adaptation and evolution of wild populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic linkage map of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, and quantitative trait loci analysis of male size and colour variation

TL;DR: The linkage data is used to predict quantitative trait loci for a set of variable male traits including size and colour pattern and to facilitate the advancement of genetic studies for a wide variety of complex adaptive phenotypes relevant to natural and sexual selection in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paired-end RAD-seq for de novo assembly and marker design without available reference

TL;DR: A method for de novo assembly of paired-end RAD-seq data in order to produce extended contigs flanking a restriction site to reconstruct one-tenth of the guppy genome represented by 200-500 bp contigs associated to EcoRI recognition sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opsin gene duplication and diversification in the guppy, a model for sexual selection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a potential source for the known variation in color perception, by analysing genomic and complementary DNA sequences of genes that code for visual pigment proteins, and found high sequence variability, both within and between populations, and expanded copy number for long-wave sensitive (LWS) opsin genes.
