Genomic perspectives on the origins of Galápagos iguanas and the evolution of marine specialisation, DNA damage response and pigmentation adaptations

2025-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Island taxa provide opportunities to explore the genomic basis of species diversification and trait evolution arising from adaptation to new environmental conditions and ecological niches. Here we generate the first genomic sequences for the four endemic Galápagos iguana species to reconstruct their evolutionary history and to identify genes which may contribute to their unique adaptations. We sh...
