Abstract excerpt
Salmonids have a remarkable ability to form sympatric morphs after postglacial colonisation of freshwater lakes. These morphs often differ in morphology, feeding and spawning behaviour. Here, we explored the genetic basis of morph differentiation in Arctic charr (n = 283) by first establishing a high-quality reference genome and then using this in whole genome sequencing of distinct morphs present in two...
