This project investigates the genetic mechanisms behind chromosomal inversions in threespine sticklebacks, which are crucial for adaptation in varying environments. It aims to understand gene flux events and their role in maintaining genetic diversity and adaptation despite ongoing gene flow from marine populations.
Understanding the genetic mechanisms that generate and preserve diversity is a central goal in biology.
Chromosomal inversions, segments of a chromosome that are reversed in order, play a key role in the formation of locally adapted forms across a broad range of different species.
They suppress recombination in heterozygotes, thereby maintaining large genomic blocks consisting of sets of locally adaptive alleles that can further diverge and evolve independently.
Yet, exchange (‘gene flux’) betwe…
