Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven K U Leuven, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Mol Ecol 18:4227-39. 2009..This study highlights the usefulness of sensory genes, like rhodopsin, for studying the characteristics of local adaptation in marine nonmodel organisms...
Genetic genealogy comes of age: perspectives on the use of deep-rooted pedigrees in human population geneticsM H D Larmuseau
UZ Leuven, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Leuven, Belgium
Am J Phys Anthropol 150:505-11. 2013..At the end, we discuss the advantages and pitfalls of using genealogy within sampling campaigns and we provide guidelines for future population genetic studies...
AMY-tree: an algorithm to use whole genome SNP calling for Y chromosomal phylogenetic applicationsAnneleen Van Geystelen
UZ Leuven, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Leuven, Belgium
BMC Genomics 14:101. 2013..Moreover, the exponential growth of known Y chromosomal lineages will require an automatic determination of the phylogenetic position of an individual based on whole genome SNP calling data and an up to date Y chromosomal tree...
In the name of the migrant father--analysis of surname origins identifies genetic admixture events undetectable from genealogical recordsM H D Larmuseau
UZ Leuven, Department of Forensic Medicine, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Leuven, Belgium
Heredity (Edinb) 109:90-5. 2012..Therefore, these results indicate that the surname origin can be an important feature on top of in-depth genealogical results to select autochthonous participants for a regional population genetic study based on Y-chromosomes...
Temporal differentiation across a West-European Y-chromosomal cline: genealogy as a tool in human population geneticsMaarten H D Larmuseau
UZ Leuven, Department of Forensic Medicine, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Kapucijnenvoer 33, Leuven, Belgium
Eur J Hum Genet 20:434-40. 2012..Therefore, genealogical data for at least 200 years are required to study small-scale 'autochthonous' population structure in Western Europe...
Differential modes of selection on the rhodopsin gene in coastal Baltic and North Sea populations of the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutusMaarten H D Larmuseau
Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Mol Ecol 19:2256-68. 2010..In contrast, the differentiation based on synonymous SNPs of RH1 reflects more the neutral historical pattern of the species...
Micro-geographic distribution of Y-chromosomal variation in the central-western European region BrabantMaarten H D Larmuseau
UZ Leuven, Department of Forensic Medicine, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Kapucijnenvoer 33, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Forensic Sci Int Genet 5:95-9. 2011..A clear gradient was found with higher frequencies of R1b1b2 (R-M269) chromosomes in the northern vs. southern regions, mainly related to a trend in the frequency of R1b1b2a1 (R-U106)...
High molecular diversity in the rhodopsin gene in closely related goby fishes: A role for visual pigments in adaptive speciation?Maarten H D Larmuseau
Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Ch Deberiotstraat 32, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Mol Phylogenet Evol 55:689-98. 2010..This study shows an unusual high variability in the gobiid visual RH1 pigment, and we therefore suggest a possible role for sensory genes in the adaptive radiation of 'sand goby' species...
Signature of selection on the rhodopsin gene in the marine radiation of American seven-spined gobies (Gobiidae, Gobiosomatini)M H D Larmuseau
Department of Forensic Medicine, Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
J Evol Biol 24:1618-25. 2011..Therefore, the current phylogenetic approach provided an extended list of AAs that are probably involved in spectral tuning, and which should be validated by mutagenic experiments...
Matrilinear phylogeography and demographical patterns of Rutilus rutilus: implications for taxonomy and conservationM H D Larmuseau
Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Deberiotstraat 32, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
J Fish Biol 75:332-53. 2009..rutilus. A suture-zone of the two main lineages was observed along the coastal region of the Black Sea. The neutrality tests and the mismatch distributions indicated a demographic expansion during the Middle-Pleistocene for both clades...
Mito-nuclear discordance in the degree of population differentiation in a marine gobyM H D Larmuseau
Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Heredity (Edinb) 105:532-42. 2010..The most likely reason for the discordant pattern is a recent demographical expansion of the sand goby, resulting in high effective population sizes slowing down the differentiation of nuclear DNA...
Deep into the roots of the Libyan Tuareg: a genetic survey of their paternal heritageClaudio Ottoni
Laboratory of Forensic Genetics and Molecular Archaeology, Universitaire Ziekenhuizen, Leuven, Belgium
Am J Phys Anthropol 145:118-24. 2011..The difference in haplogroup composition between the villages of Al Awaynat and Tahala suggests that founder effects and drift played a significant role in shaping the genetic pool of the Libyan Tuareg...
Divergent selection as revealed by P(ST) and QTL-based F(ST) in three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations along a coastal-inland gradientJoost A M Raeymaekers
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology, Ch Deberiotstraat, 32, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Mol Ecol 16:891-905. 2007..No genetic confirmation was obtained for divergent selection on dorsal spine length, as no outlier F(ST)s were detected at dorsal spine QTL, and no significant correlations with P(ST) were observed...
Temporal genetic stability and high effective population size despite fisheries-induced life-history trait evolution in the North Sea soleE L Cuveliers
Laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Charles Deberiotstraat 32, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Mol Ecol 20:3555-68. 2011..Because strong evolutionary changes in age and size at first maturation have been observed for sole, changes in adaptive genetic variation should be further monitored to detect the evolutionary consequences of human-induced selection...
