Allelic coverage analyses reveal a high proportion and uneven chromosomal distribution of SNPs associated with polymorphic duplications in the oyster Ostrea edulis

Oysters are known for their high genetic diversity, potentially high genetic load, and structurally complex genomes.

Oysters are known for their high genetic diversity, potentially high genetic load, and structurally complex genomes. The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is no exception. Here, we combined a reference-free analysis of pairs of k-mers differing by a single nucleotide…
