The long and short of hyperdivergent regions.

Abstract excerpt

The increasing prevalence of genome sequencing and assembly has uncovered evidence of hyperdivergent genomic regions - loci with excess genetic diversity - in species across the tree of life. Hyperdivergent regions are often enriched for genes that mediate environmental responses, such as immunity, parasitism, and sensory perception. Especially in self-fertilizing species where the majority of the genome is...
