Inversion breakpoints and the evolution of supergenes.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2021

Abstract excerpt

The coexistence of discrete morphs that differ in multiple traits is common within natural populations of many taxa. Such morphs are often associated with chromosomal inversions, presumably because the recombination suppressing effects of inversions help maintain alternate adaptive combinations of alleles across the multiple loci affecting these traits. However, inversions can also harbour selected mutations at...
