Comparative analysis reveals signatures of differentiation amid genomic polymorphism in Lake Malawi cichlids
BACKGROUND: Cichlid fish from East Africa are remarkable for phenotypic and behavioral diversity on a backdrop of genomic similarity. In 2006, the Joint Genome Institute completed low coverage survey sequencing of the genomes of five phenotypically and ecologically diverse Lake Malawi species. We report a computational and comparative analysis of these data that provides insight… [Read More]
