- Identifying targets and agents of selection: innovative methods to evaluate the processes that contribute to local adaptation (2017, background): “Thus, gene flow among populations could result in the rapid spread of conditionally-advantageous alleles, homogenizing populations and eroding local adaptation (Bulmer 1972; Lenormand 2002; Hall, Lowry & Willis 2010; Anderson et al. 2013).”
- The Sequence of 1504 Mutants in the Model Rice Variety Kitaake Facilitates Rapid Functional Genomic Studies (2017, background): “Limited studies in plants show that structural variants contribute to important agricultural and biological traits, like plant height, stress responses, crop domestication, speciation, and genome diversity and evolution (Lowry and Willis, 2010; Huang et al., 2012; Saxena et al., 2014; Zmienko et al.”
- Finding the Genomic Basis of Local Adaptation: Pitfalls, Practical Solutions, and Future Directions (2016, positive): “Structural variants are known to be involved in local adaptation, including copy number variation (Perry et al. 2007; Prasad et al. 2012 a ), inversions (Lowry and Willis 2010; Kunte et al. 2014), and transposon insertions (González and Pe-trov 2009; Casacuberta and González 2013).”
