Abstract excerpt
Recombination has long been considered the primary mechanism to bring beneficial alleles together, which can increase the speed of adaptation from standing genetic variation. Recombination is fundamental to the transporter hypothesis proposed to explain precise parallel adaptation in Threespine Stickleback. We study an instance of freshwater adaptation in the Threespine Stickleback system using whole genome data...
