Rapid and repeated evolution of myosin copy number in threespine stickleback

2025-12-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Copy number variants at genomic loci evolve at a high rate, are linked to many different diseases, and play a role in adaptive evolution in humans and other organisms. Here we show that stickleback fish from freshwater environments have rapidly and repeatedly evolved an expanded number of copies of a gene family involved in muscle development, Myosin Heavy Chain 3 Cluster C ( MYH3C ), compared...
