Genome-Wide Analysis of the World's Sheep Breeds Reveals High Levels of Historic Mixture and Strong Recent Selection (2012, background): “HMGA2 is of particular interest as it was recently shown to be under selection in dogs with divergent stature [28,29].”
Robust Identification of Local Adaptation from Allele Frequencies (2012, background): “…between populations that differ in environment were among the earliest population genetic tests for selection (Cavalli-Sforza, 1966; Lewontin and Krakauer, 1973; Endler, 1986), and have continued to be central to population genetics to this day (e.g. Coop et al., 2009; Akey et al., 2010).”
From evolutionary computation to the evolution of things (2015, background): “Thus humans have successfully exploited evolution to create improved food sources 14 or more useful animals 15 , even though the mechanisms involved in the transmission of traits from one generation to the next were not understood.”
