These results agreed with other works (Eagen and Goldman 1996; Heredia-Diaz et al. 1996; Butrón et al. 2005; Diaby and Casler 2005),
which found significant changes in marker frequencies due to directional selection.
Sample text:```Our results confi rm previous studies that reached the same conclusion (Boushey et al 1994; Vermeulen et al 2000; Till et al 2005; Marcucci et al 2005).```

Sample text:```distances were calculated between all population pairs considering the likely routes of human migration out of Africa, following the criteria set by Ramachandran et al. (2005). The test was performed with the software Passage version 2.```

Sample text:```This is interesting in relation to the result from our previous CGH study (comparing the number of significantly hybridizing probes on the microarray) that showed high sequence divergence on the Z chromosome between the common whitethroat and the zebra finch [62]; and such patterns are also found in other species [48,51,69].```

Sample text:```Quantitative geneticists have documented numerous cases of such interactions (Stuber et al. 1992; Ragot et al. 1995; Cockerham and Zeng 1996; Melchinger et al. 1998).```

Sample text:```By clustering with lowly aggressive close kin (King 1989a,b; Viblanc et al. 2010; Arnaud, Dobson & Murie 2012), breeding females may decrease the time/energy cost of maintaining territorial boundaries (Festa-Bianchet & Boag 1982; Murie & Harris 1988), which could ultimately lead to increases in net energy income (TA) or higher allocations in somatic or reproductive functions.```

Sample text:```Our genealogy, based on many alleles but only the first exon of bindin, is not entirely consistent with that of McCartney and Lessios (2004), based on fewer alleles but incorporating the entire molecule.```

Sample text:```We also hypothesized that variation in seed mass should decrease in populations subjected to the strongest directional selection pressure (see [29]), which in this case is more arid areas where seed mass is known to be a key determinant of fitness [35,39].```

Sample text:```Bork et al. (2010) reported that highly significant differences in methylation patterns were observed at specific CpG sites, such as those near homeobox genes between early and late cultures.```

Sample text:```Classification of Genetic Variants All genetic variants in our cohort and those reported in the manuscripts uncovered by the literature search were reassessed and classified according to the current guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics.13 For this evaluation, we used MAF data derived from the Exome Aggregation Consortium and the Exome Variant Server.```
