Eroding species barriers: hybridising canids remain distinct around centromeres
2025-03-29
Abstract excerpt
Species barriers are shaped by variation in recombination coupled with natural selection [1–3]. Canids lost the Prdm9 gene 40–60 million years ago [4–6], stabilising low recombination at the centromeric ends [7] of acrocentric autosomes despite overall high recombination rates [6]. We predict canid recombination architecture will tend to maintain barriers to gene flow at one end of autosomes while eroding them at...
