Genomic differentiation of the three basic genomes in U's triangle then generated the stable allotetraploid species B. carinata, B. napus and B. juncea.
In order to study interspecific patterns of genomic differentiation within Zosterops, we compared the genomes of different species of white-eyes, focusing on the white-eye taxa of the island of Lifou near New Caledonia (fig. 1).
The high coverage of AFLP markers across the genomes and the high proportion of markers within or close to gene sequences make them suitable for genome scanning and identifying large islands of genomic differentiation.
The metaphor of "speciation islands" was originally developed by Turner et al. (2005) to describe the pattern of genomic differentiation detected in the first microarray-based genome scan of M versus S divergence.
The objective of our study is to highlight a potential problem with polymorphism data sets that can introduce bias to genome scans and lead to incorrect interpretations of genomic differentiation, or the lack thereof.
The results extend our understanding on the structural variation in the human genome and may furnish a basis for understanding the genomic differentiation of complex traits across ethnic groups.
Our findings of ethnic differentiation of CNVs, along with the newly created CNVR genomic map based on 1,677 Caucasian and Asian individuals, extend our understanding on the structural variation in the human genome and may furnish a basis for understanding the genomic differentiation of complex traits across ethnic groups.
Our findings of ethnic differentiation of CNVs, along with the newly constructed CNV genomic map, extend our knowledge on the structural variation in the human genome and may furnish a basis for understanding the genomic differentiation of complex traits across ethnic groups.
Together, this should increase the quality and comparability of genome scans, and hence promote our understanding of the processes driving genomic differentiation.
Together, this should increase the quality and comparability of genome scans, and hence promote our understanding of the processes shaping genomic differentiation.
Some recently amplified retrotransposons have been proposed to be the source of genomic differentiation in Oryza (Panaud et al. 2002).
