Resumen
Los lobos antiguos estaban muy conectados durante la Edad de Hielo. Los perros probablemente se originaron de los lobos del este de Eurasia, con algunos perros del Cercano Oriente y África de una población de lobos separada.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La paleogenómica
- Biología evolutiva
- Arqueogenética
Sus antecedentes:
- La domesticación del lobo gris (Canis lupus) en perros (Canis familiaris) es un evento fundamental en la prehistoria, sin embargo, las poblaciones específicas de lobos y las líneas de tiempo involucradas siguen sin estar claras.
- Comprender la estructura y la dinámica de la población de lobos antiguos es crucial para reconstruir los orígenes de los perros domésticos, especialmente teniendo en cuenta su supervivencia durante la última Edad de Hielo, cuando muchas megafaunas perecieron.

02:04Conservation of Small Populations
13.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

01:43Incomplete Dominance
25.4K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

02:54Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons
6.1K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

02:37Gene Duplication and Divergence
6.3K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

02:31Synteny and Evolution
3.4K
John H. Renwick first coined the term “synteny” in 1971, which refers to the genes present on the same chromosomes, even if they are not genetically linked. The species with common ancestry tend to show conserved syntenic regions. Therefore, the concept of synteny is nowadays used to describe the evolutionary relationship between species.
Around 80 million years ago, the human and mice lineages diverged from the common ancestor. During the course of evolution, the ancestral...
