Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their
suppression of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research …

As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

Large-scale genomic surveys of crop germplasm are important for understanding the
genetic architecture of favorable traits. The genomic basis of geographic differentiation and …

Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection …

Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

Both models and case studies suggest that chromosomal inversions can facilitate adaptation
and speciation in the presence of gene flow by suppressing recombination between locally …

Across many species where inversions have been implicated in local adaptation, genomes
often evolve to contain multiple, large inversions that arise early in divergence. Why this …

The increasing feasibility of assembling large genomic datasets for non-model species
presents both opportunities and challenges for applied conservation and management. A …

Barriers to gene flow between divergent populations result in contact (hybrid) zones.
Locations where multiple contact zones overlap can be used in comparative studies asking …

Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms
maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine …
