Abstract excerpt
Genomic structural variants (SVs) play a crucial role in adaptive evolution, yet their average fitness effects and characterization with pangenome tools are understudied in wild animal populations. We constructed a pangenome for House Finches (Haemorhous mexicanus), a model for studies of host-pathogen coevolution, using long-read sequence data on 16 individuals (32 de novo-assembled haplotypes) and one outgroup....
