Within-Population Genome Size Variation is Mediated by Multiple Genomic Elements That Segregate Independently during Meiosis.

Abstract excerpt

Within-species variation in genome size has been documented in many animals and plants. Despite its importance for understanding eukaryotic genome diversity, there is only sparse knowledge about how individual-level processes mediate genome size variation in populations. Here, we study a natural population of the rotifer Brachionus asplanchnoidis whose members differ up to 1.9-fold in diploid genome size, but...
