Exploring the role of polymorphic interspecies structural variants in reproductive isolation and adaptive divergence in Eucalyptus.

Abstract excerpt

Structural variations (SVs) play a significant role in speciation and adaptation in many species, yet few studies have explored the prevalence and impact of different categories of SVs. We conducted a comparative analysis of long-read assembled reference genomes of closely related Eucalyptus species to identify candidate SVs potentially influencing speciation and adaptation. Interspecies SVs can be either fixed...
