Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversions have long been appreciated as an important source of genetic diversity, local adaptation, and speciation. However, selection pressures maintaining ancestral and derived alleles at high frequency over extended periods of time remain poorly characterized. Using genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism markers and shared barcodes of linked-read sequences from 20 wild and 7 captive zebra...
