Supergene Evolution: Recombination Finds a Way.

Current biology : CB - 20 Jan 2020

Hunt Brendan G

Abstract excerpt

Supergenes are multiple linked genes that regulate complex, polymorphic traits, but little is known about their evolution. A new study of an ancient supergene in several ant species suggests that rare recombination events shape supergene evolution in surprising ways.
