Fitness landscapes of human microsatellites. by Ryan J Haasl, Bret A Payseur

“…The heterogeneity in fitness landscapes we report suggests that genome-scale analyses like those used to assess selection targeting single nucleotide variants run the risk of oversimplifying the evolutionary dynamics of microsatellites. Moreover, our fitness landscapes provide a valuable visualization of the selective dynamics navigated by microsatellites.…”

Insects’ RNA Profiling Reveals Absence of “Hidden Break” in 28S Ribosomal RNA Molecule of Onion Thrips, Thrips tabaci by Rosaline Wanjiru Macharia, Fidelis Levi Ombura, Erick Onyango Aroko

“…On the other hand, presence of “hidden break” was depicted in whiteflies’ 28S rRNA despite their evolutionary grouping under same order with aphids. Divergence of 28S rRNA sequences confirms variation of both size and composition of gap region among insect species. …”

MOLECULAR DATING OF INTRASPECIFIC DIFFERENTIATION OF THE STOAT (MUSTELA ERMINEA) BASED ON THE VARIABILITY OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL ND2 GENE by B. A. Malyarchuk, G. A. Denisova, M. V. Derenko

“…Molecular dating shows that the separation of ancestral population of the stoat occurred approximately 1,3–1,6 million years before present (BP), but the Eurasian mtDNA lineages diverged about 300 thousand years (ka) BP. The evolutionary age of Kamchatkan mtDNA haplotypes is about 95–120 ka, which contradicts the suggestions of other authors about post-last glacial (19–26,5 ka BP) recolonization of Eurasia by stoat populations. …”
