Extensive introgression and mosaic genomes of mediterranean endemic lizards

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Weizhao Yang from the Lund University have published the research work: Extensive introgression and mosaic genomes of Mediterranean endemic lizards, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
  • what: Using whole-genome sequences of representatives of all major lineages of the Podarcis genus, the authors show that genetic exchange has been pervasive throughout the history of this clade, resulting in lineages with highly mosaic genomes that contributed to the diversity and endemism of the Mediterranean fauna.
  • how: To characterize the pattern of diversification the authors analyzed shifts in diversification rates on a lineage . . .
