Multi-population GWAS detects robust marker associations in a newly established six-rowed winter barley breeding program
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool for identifying marker-trait associations that can accelerate breeding progress. Yet, its p…
Kinship clustering within an ecologically diverse killer whale metapopulation
Metapopulation dynamics can be shaped by foraging ecology, and thus be sensitive to shifts in prey availability. Genotyping 204 North Atlantic kill…
A genetic perspective on the recent demographic history of Ireland and Britain
