TLDR
The results indicate that novel adaptations allowing the early ancestors of modern dogs to thrive on a diet rich in starch, relative to the carnivorous diet of wolves, constituted a crucial step in the early domestication of dogs.Abstract:
The domestication of dogs. was an important episode in the development of human civilization. The precise timing and location of this event is debated(1-5) and little is known about the genetic cha ...read more

Sequencing pools of individuals — mining genome-wide polymorphism data without big funding
TL;DR: This Review demonstrates the breadth of questions that are being addressed by Pool-seq but also discusses its limitations and provides guidelines for users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequencing and population genomics in non-model organisms.
TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the life sciences, and the past 12 months have seen a burst of genome sequences from non-model organisms, in each case representing a fundamental source of data of significant importance to biological research.

Adaptive introgression in animals: examples and comparison to new mutation and standing variation as sources of adaptive variation.
TL;DR: The various attributes of these three potential sources of adaptive variation are compared, including balancing selection for multiple alleles for major histocompatibility complex (MHC), S and csd genes, pesticide resistance in mice, black colour in wolves and white colour in coyotes, Neanderthal or Denisovan ancestry in humans, and mimicry genes in Heliconius butterflies are examined.

Ecological and evolutionary implications of food subsidies from humans
TL;DR: It is argued here that predictable anthropogenic food subsidies (PAFS) provided historically by humans to animals has shaped many communities and ecosystems as the authors see them nowadays and comparison of subsidised and non-subsidised ecosystems can help predict changes in diversity and the related ecosystem services that have suffered the impact of other global change agents.

Regulation of the immune system by biodiversity from the natural environment: An ecosystem service essential to health
TL;DR: It is suggested that the requirement for microbial input from the environment to drive immunoregulation is a major component of the beneficial effect of green space, and a neglected ecosystem service that is essential for the authors' well-being.

The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools
Heng Li,Bob Handsaker,Alec Wysoker,T. J. Fennell,Jue Ruan,Nils Homer,Gabor T. Marth,Gonçalo R. Abecasis,Richard Durbin +8 more
TL;DR: SAMtools as discussed by the authors implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.

Estimating F-statistics for the analysis of population structure.
Bruce S. Weir,C. Clark Cockerham +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this discussion is to offer some unity to various estimation formulae and to point out that correlations of genes in structured populations, with which F-statistics are concerned, are expressed very conveniently with a set of parameters treated by Cockerham (1 969, 1973).

A fast and flexible statistical model for large-scale population genotype data: applications to inferring missing genotypes and haplotypic phase.
Paul Scheet,Matthew Stephens +1 more
TL;DR: A statistical model based on the idea that, over short regions, haplotypes in a population tend to cluster into groups of similar haplotypes that allows cluster memberships to change continuously along the chromosome according to a hidden Markov model to capture the fact that recombination tends to be local in nature.
