Selection pressure

Selection pressures have driven population differentiation of domesticated and wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

L. H. Xu, Wang, C. H., Wang, J., Dong, Z. J., Ma, Y. Q., and Yang, X. X., Selection pressures have driven population differentiation of domesticated and wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), vol. 11, pp. 3222-3235, 2012.

Selection pressures are the principle evolutionary forces for the genetic differentiation of populations. Recent changes in selection pressures on mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite have been described in a wide variety of organisms. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) has experienced strong selection pressure, in particular artificial selection, during its domestication. However, the contribution and extent of artificial selection in driving genome-wide population differentiation remain unclear.
