Mutational processes of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in complex genomes are poorly
understood. We examined these processes by introducing a two-phase mutation model. In …

… JC Garza is a population geneticist whose current interests include the application of
population genetic techniques to ecological problems, the study of molecular evolution, and the …

Likelihood-based parentage inference depends on the distribution of a likelihood-ratio statistic,
which, in most cases of interest, cannot be exactly determined, but only approximated by …

An international multi-laboratory project was conducted to develop a standardized DNA
database for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ). This project was in response to the …

The distributions of allele sizes at eight simple-sequence repeat (SSR) or microsatellite loci
in chimpanzees are found and compared with the distributions previously obtained from …

Leptin, an adipose-derived hormone, has been implicated in several physiological processes
involving the hippocampus. However, the role of leptin in adult hippocampal neurogenesis …

Stress and glucocorticoid stress hormones inhibit neurogenesis, whereas antidepressants
increase neurogenesis and block stress-induced decrease in neurogenesis. Our previous …

1 Summary In April 2008, in response to the sudden collapse of Sacramento River fall
Chinook salmon (SRFC) and the poor status of many west coast coho salmon populations, the …

Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes can …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are appealing genetic markers due to several
beneficial attributes, but uncertainty remains about how many of these bi‐allelic markers are …
