PLoS Genetics publication now available
2023-08-14
Karin, Jesper and Lars have published a paper in PLoS Genetics. This article describes how chromosomal rearrangements affect the recombination landscape in butterflies and how this in turn affects the maintenance / loss of genetic diversity and intensity and efficacy of natural selection. Collaborators Roger Vila and Christer Wiklund were also involved. Well done and congratulations everyone.
