Genetic basis of fitness differences in natural populations.

Nature - 13 Mar 2008

Ellegren Hans, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Genomics profoundly influences current biology. One of many exciting consequences of this revolution is the potential for identifying and studying the genetic basis of those traits affecting fitness that are key to natural selection. Recent studies using a multitude of genomic approaches have established such genotype-phenotype relationships in natural populations, giving new insight into the genetic architecture...
