The genomic architecture and evolutionary fates of supergenes
Juanita Gutiérrez-Valencia, William Hughes, Emma L. Berdan +1
Supergenes are genomic regions containing sets of tightly linked loci that control multi-trait phenotypic polymorphisms under balancing selection. Recent advances in genomics have…

Unboxing mutations: Connecting mutation types with evolutionary consequences
Emma L. Berdan, Alexandre Blanckaert, Tanja Slotte +3
Mutations are typically classified by their effects on the nucleotide sequence and by their size. Here, we argue that if our main aim is to understand the effect of mutations on ev…

Population genomics of transitions to selfing in Brassicaceae model systems
Tiina M. Mattila, Benjamin Laenen, Tanja Slotte
Many plants harbor complex mechanisms that promote outcrossing and efficient pollen transfer. These include floral adaptations as well as genetic mechanisms, such as molecular self…
