Chromosome Fusion Affects Genetic Diversity and Evolutionary Turnover of Functional Loci but Consistently Depends on Chromosome Size.

Molecular biology and evolution - 27 Sept 2021

Cicconardi Francesco, Lewis James J, Martin Simon H, Reed Robert D, Danko Charles G, Montgomery Stephen H

Abstract excerpt

Major changes in chromosome number and structure are linked to a series of evolutionary phenomena, including intrinsic barriers to gene flow or suppression of recombination due to chromosomal rearrangements. However, chromosome rearrangements can also affect the fundamental dynamics of molecular evolution within populations by changing relationships between linked loci and altering rates of recombination. Here,...
