Multiple chromosomal inversions shape the genetic structure of a commercial bivalve

Understanding the genetic structure of natural populations is central to defining fisheries management units, yet the contribution of structural genetic variation is rarely assessed.

Understanding the genetic structure of natural populations is central to defining fisheries management units, yet the contribution of structural genetic variation is rarely assessed. Among structural variants, chromosomal inversions suppress recombination in heterozygotes,…
