Conservation of Sex-Linked Markers among Conspecific Populations of a Viviparous Skink, Niveoscincus ocellatus, Exhibiting Genetic and Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination.

abstract：:Human-specific small insertions and deletions (HS indels, with lengths <100 bp) are reported to be ubiquitous in the human genome. However, whether these indels contribute to human-specific traits remains unclear. Here we employ a modified McDonald-Kreitman (MK) test and a combinatorial population genetics approach to...
