This research investigates supergenes in the land snail Cepaea nemoralis, focusing on genetic factors influencing shell color variation. By sequencing its genome and mapping genetic traits, it aims to enhance understanding of evolutionary processes and genetic architecture.
The concept of a supergene, proposed nearly 80 years ago, has become a hot topic in biology.
Supergenes are clusters of several loci, each affecting a different morphological or behavioural trait; tight physical linkage and chromosomal inversions suppress recombination so that multiple phenotypic characters are inherited as a single locus.
Supergenes play a crucial role in the maintenance of highly discrete adaptive phenotypes, eventually leading to reproductive isolation and speciation.
