Editor's Notes

  • #2 I will be taking about my project, where I am trying to determine if
  • #3 Adaptations contribute to the fitness and survival of individuals, For example is decidjios trees temporal modifications in growth together with cyclical changes in climate are essential for survival in variable environments Gv is an important ingredient for these processes of NS And an important source that can provide this type of allelic variation is introgression …and underley adaptive procesese That is why I am interested on understanding the genetic variation of local adaptation
  • #4 P trichocarpa ref genome, silicide genome duplication, whole genome And then introduce distribution and introgression
  • #5 introgression from sister species balsamifera appeared as important processes shaping the distribution of genetic diversity across P. trichocarpa range pie chart depicts the averageQbalsam (black) vs all other six Q (in green) among all accessions from that drainage (or species) (balsamifera's pie chart which was placed randomly).
  • #6 Fst outlier test where we focus on genotypes, specifically allele freq. Fst is an index used to estimate levels of pop differentiion and if a SNP or genes is an Fst outlier it could mean that certain alleles are restricted to some parts of the range. If this is the case we could hypothesised that these alleles are involved in adaptive process in these specific environments.
  • #9 Adaptations contribute to the fitness and survival of individuals, For example is decidjios trees temporal modifications in growth together with cyclical changes in climate are essential for survival in variable environments Gv is an important ingredient for these processes of NS And an important source that can provide this type of allelic variation is introgression …and underley adaptive procesese That is why I am interested on understanding the genetic variation of local adaptation
  • #10 HMM-based inference depends on: a ref panel of phased haplotypes from e/of the ancestral pops
  • #11 I used this approach because there was variation in SNP density among windows. So I weighting these estimations based on the # of SNPs per window. The weighted mean data points with more SNPs contribute more than others (instead of e/of the data points contributing equally to the final average)
  • #17 Bonferroni Benjamini (no FDR), ch15_2: PTHR18958~ANKYRIN REPEAT-CONTAINING GO:0032502 biological p =progression of anatomical structure (subcellular, cell, tissue, organ), or organism over time from initial to later condition GO:0032501 biological p= in multicellular organism, pertinent to its function GO:0007275 biological p = progression of multicellular organism over time from initial condition (zygote, young adult) to a later condition (multicellular animal, aged adult). ~Cellular component: parts of a cell or extracellular env ~Molecular function: activities of gene product at molecular level (binding or catalysis) ~Biological process: molecular events functioning of cells, tissues, organs, organisms
