The particular combinations of alleles that define haplotypes along individual chromosomes
can be determined with increasing ease and accuracy by using current sequencing …

Nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes represent the oldest repetitive fraction universal to all
eukaryotic genomes. Their deeply anchored universality and omnipresence during …

Nascent pairs of ecologically differentiated species offer an opportunity to get a better
glimpse at the genetic architecture of speciation. Of particular interest is our recent ability to …

Highlights•Genome stability is intimately linked to speciation and evolution.•Genome stability
is a complex trait.•Genome instability may be a widespread cause of hybrid incompatibility.• …

Repeatedly and recently evolved sympatric morphs exhibiting consistent phenotypic
differences provide natural experimental replicates of speciation. Because such morphs are …

The genomic shock hypothesis stipulates that the stress associated with divergent genome
admixture can cause transposable element (TE) derepression, which could act as a …

Ravinet et al.(2017) focus their review on the genomic landscape of speciation, in particular
on the identification of barrier loci. However, here we wish to direct attention towards the …

Adaptive radiations in postglacial fish offer excellent settings to study the evolutionary
mechanisms involved in the rapid buildup of sympatric species diversity from a single …

Although a distinct karyotype with defined chromosome number and structure characterizes
each biological species, it is intrinsically labile. Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication has …

To understand the cytogenomic evolution of vertebrates, we must first unravel the complex
genomes of fishes, which were the first vertebrates to evolve and were ancestors to all other …
