Chromatin Accessibility Reveals Adaptive Regulatory Variation in a Keystone Freshwater Fish.

Abstract excerpt

Regulatory variation is increasingly recognized as a major driver of adaptive evolution, yet its role in natural populations remains largely unresolved. By integrating ATAC-seq chromatin profiles with population genomic outlier scans and RNA-seq gene expression data, we characterize the functional impact of regulatory elements and identify candidate loci where selection signatures coincide with tissue-specific...
