Speciation through sensory drive in cichlid fish
- O. Seehausen, Y. Terai, +9 authors N. Okada
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 October 2008
Theoretically, divergent selection on sensory systems can cause speciation through sensory drive. However, empirical evidence is rare and incomplete. Here we demonstrate sensory drive speciation… Expand
DNA variation in a conifer, Cryptomeria japonica (Cupressaceae sensu lato).

- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 August 2003
We investigated the nucleotide variation of a conifer, Cryptomeria japonica, and the divergence between this species and its closest relative, Taxodium distichum, at seven nuclear loci (Acl5, Chi1,… Expand
Evidence for recent positive selection at the human AIM1 locus in a European population.
- M. Soejima, H. Tachida, T. Ishida, Akinori Sano, Y. Koda
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 2006
Two missense polymorphisms (E272K and L374F) of the AIM1 locus, encoding a melanocyte differentiation antigen, were shown to have a clear association with human ethnicities. These two nonpathogenic… Expand
Divergent Selection on Opsins Drives Incipient Speciation in Lake Victoria Cichlids
- Y. Terai, O. Seehausen, +11 authors N. Okada
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS biology
- 1 December 2006
Divergent natural selection acting on ecological traits, which also affect mate choice, is a key element of ecological speciation theory, but has not previously been demonstrated at the molecular… Expand
Phylogeny of PgiC gene in Shorea and its closely related genera (Dipterocarpaceae), the dominant trees in Southeast Asian tropical rain forests.
- K. Kamiya, K. Harada, H. Tachida, P. S. Ashton
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 May 2005
Dipterocarpaceae, trees that dominate tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia consist of many economically and ecologically important species. We determined partial sequences of the PgiC gene from… Expand
A study on a nearly neutral mutation model in finite populations.
- H. Tachida
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 May 1991
As a nearly neutral mutation model, the house-of-cards model is studied in finite populations using computer simulations. The distribution of the mutant effect is assumed to be normal. The behavior… Expand
Symbiosis between hydra and chlorella: molecular phylogenetic analysis and experimental study provide insight into its origin and evolution.
- Hitomi Kawaida, Kohki Ohba, Yuhki Koutake, H. Shimizu, H. Tachida, Y. Kobayakawa
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 March 2013
Although many physiological studies have been reported on the symbiosis between hydra and green algae, very little information from a molecular phylogenetic aspect of symbiosis is available. In order… Expand
Phylogenetic relationships in Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae sensu stricto based on matK gene, chlL gene, trnL-trnF IGS region, and trnL intron sequences.
- J. Kusumi, Y. Tsumura, H. Yoshimaru, H. Tachida
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 October 2000
Nucleotide sequences from four chloroplast genes, the matK, chlL, intergenic spacer (IGS) region between trnL and trnF, and an intron of trnL, were determined from all species of Taxodiaceae and five… Expand
Molecular Evolution in a Multisite Nearly Neutral Mutation Model
- H. Tachida
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Molecular Evolution
- 2000
Abstract. A simple nearly neutral mutation model of protein evolution was studied using computer simulation assuming a constant population size. In this model, a gene consists of a finite number of… Expand
Molecular phylogeny of Dipetrocarpaceae in Southeast Asia based on nucleotide sequences of matK, trnL intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer region in chloroplast DNA.

- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 October 1998
To obtain a refined molecular phylogeny of dipterocarp species in Southeast Asia, nucleotide sequences of matK, the intron of trnL, and intergenic spacer region between trnL and trnF in chloroplast… Expand
