Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying genes linked to trait differences in diverging species and explores how their genomes evolve in hybrid zones.
- Researchers used whole-genome resequencing of the European and Siberian chiffchaffs to analyze patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation in their populations.
- Findings suggest varying levels of genetic diversity and differentiation, influenced by factors like effective population size and selection, and reveal that hybridization occurs frequently, complicating the relationship between phenotype and genomic makeup.
Characterizing and quantifying genome size variation among organisms and understanding if genome size evolves as a consequence of adaptive or stochastic processes have been long-standing goals in evolutionary biology. Here, we investigate genome size variation and association with transposable elements (TEs) across lepidopteran lineages using a novel genome assembly of the common wood-white (Leptidea sinapis) and population re-sequencing data from both L. sinapis and the closely related L.
