The conservation genetics juggling act: integrating genetics and ecology, science and policy

Creator:: Haig, Susan M., Miller, Mark. P., Bellinger, Renee, Draheim, Hope M., Mercer, Dacey M., and Mullins, Thomas D.
Abstract:: The field of conservation genetics, when properly implemented, is a constant juggling act integrating molecular genetics, ecology, and demography with applied aspects concerning managing declining species or implementing conservation laws and policies. This young field has grown substantially since the 1980s following the development of polymerase chain reaction and now...

Endogenous Small RNA Mediates Meiotic Silencing of a Novel DNA Transposon

Creator:: Wang, Yizhou, Smith, Kristina M., Taylor, John W., Freitag, Michael, and Stajich, Jason E.
Abstract:: Genome defense likely evolved to curtail the spread of transposable elements and invading viruses. A combination of effective defense mechanisms has been shown to limit colonization of the Neurospora crassa genome by transposable elements. A novel DNA transposon named Sly1-1 was discovered in the genome of the most widely used...

Genome of Drosophila suzukii, the Spotted Wing Drosophila

Creator:: Chiu, Joanna C., Jiang, Xuanting, Zhao, Li, Hamm, Christopher A., Cridland, Julie M., Saelao, Perot, Hamby, Kelly A., Lee, Ernest K., Kwok, Rosanna S., Zhang, Guojie, Zalom, Frank G., Walton, Vaughn M., and Begun, David J.
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted wing drosophila) has recently become a serious pest of a wide variety of fruit crops in the United States as well as in Europe, leading to substantial yearly crop losses. To enable basic and applied research of this important pest, we sequenced the D. suzukii genome...

De Novo Assembly and Characterization of Four Anthozoan (Phylum Cnidaria) Transcriptomes

Creator:: Kitchen, Sheila A., Crowder, Camerron M., Poole, Angela Z., Weis, Virginia M., and Meyer, Eli
Abstract:: Many nonmodel species exemplify important biological questions but lack the sequence resources required to study the genes and genomic regions underlying traits of interest. Reef-building corals are famously sensitive to rising seawater temperatures, motivating ongoing research into their stress responses and long-term prospects in a changing climate. A comprehensive understanding...

Comparative Genomics of a Plant-Pathogenic Fungus, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, Reveals Transduplication and the Impact of Repeat Elements on Pathogenicity and Population Divergence

Creator:: Manning, Viola A., Pandelova, Iovanna, Dhillon, Braham, Wilhelm, Larry J., Goodwin, Stephen B., Berlin, Aaron M., Figueroa, Melania, Freitag, Michael, Hane, James K., Henrissat, Bernard, Holman, Wade H., Kodira, Chinnappa D., Martin, Joel, Oliver, Richard P., Robbertse, Barbara, Schackwitz, Wendy, Schwartz, David C., Spatafora, Joseph W., Turgeon, B. Gillian, Yandava, Chandri, Young, Sarah, Zhou, Shiguo, Zeng, Qiandong, Grigoriev, Igor V., Ma, Li-Jun, and Ciuffetti, Lynda M.
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic fungus causal to the disease tan spot of wheat, whose contribution to crop loss has increased significantly during the last few decades. Pathogenicity by this fungus is attributed to the production of host-selective toxins ( HST), which are recognized by their host in a genotype-specific...

Genetic characterization of a reptilian calicivirus (Cro1)

Creator:: Sandoval-Jaime, Carlos, Parra, Gabriel I., Smith, Alvin W., Green, Kim Y., and Sosnovtsev, Stanislav V.
Abstract:: Background: Vesiviruses in the family Caliciviridae infect a broad range of animal hosts including mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles. The vesivirus Cro1 strains were isolated from diseased snakes in the San Diego zoo in 1978 and reported as the first caliciviruses found in reptiles. The goal of this study...

What the Inbred Scandinavian Wolf Population Tells Us about the Nature of Conservation

Creator:: Räikkönen, Jannikke, Vucetich, John A., Vucetich, Leah M., Peterson, Rolf O., and Nelson, Michael P.
Abstract:: The genetic aspects of population health are critical, but frequently difficult to assess. Of concern has been the genetic constitution of Scandinavian wolves (Canis lupus), which represent an important case in conservation. We examined the incidence of different congenital anomalies for 171 Scandinavian wolves, including the immigrant founder female, born...

Adaptive genetic markers discriminate migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) amid continued gene flow

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G., Jacobson, Dave P., Kurth, Ryon, Dill, Allen J., and Banks, Michael A.
Abstract:: Neutral genetic markers are routinely used to define distinct units within species that warrant discrete management. Human-induced changes to gene flow however may reduce the power of such an approach. We tested the efficiency of adaptive versus neutral genetic markers in differentiating temporally divergent migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus...

Ecological strategies predict associations between aquatic and genetic connectivity for dryland amphibians

Creator:: Mims, Meryl C., Phillipsen, Ivan C., Lytle, David A., Kirk, Emily E. Hartfield, and Olden, Julian D.
Abstract:: The study of how population genetic structure is shaped by attributes of the environment is a central scientific pursuit in ecology and conservation. But limited resources may prohibit landscape genetics studies for many threatened species, particularly given the pace of current environmental change. Understanding the extent to which species' ecological...

Microsatellite Markers Reveal Strong Genetic Structure in the Endemic Chilean Dolphin

Creator:: José Pérez-Alvarez, María, Olavarría, Carlos, Moraga, Rodrigo, Baker, C. Scott, Hamner, Rebecca M., and Poulin, Elie
Abstract:: Understanding genetic differentiation and speciation processes in marine species with high dispersal capabilities is challenging. The Chilean dolphin, Cephalorhynchus eutropia, is the only endemic cetacean of Chile and is found in two different coastal habitats: a northern habitat with exposed coastlines, bays and estuaries from Valparaíso (33°02' S) to Chiloé...
