The DNA Flips That Help Fish Become New Species | Geekoo

Lake Malawi’s cichlid fish are evolving into new species at lightning speed—thanks to supergenes that keep evolution’s best tools intact.

🔬🌍 ¿Los supergenes son realmente imprescindibles para la evolución? Un nuevo estudio sacude la biología evolutiva y desafía esta idea. 🌱🐠

🔎 Durante años, los supergenes han sido clave para explicar rasgos complejos, pero ahora la ciencia propone nuevas respuestas. ¿Podría la naturaleza tener otros mecanismos igual de efectivos?

Genome sequencing revealed that one of the non-recombining haplotypes carries a large inversion, likely reinforcing recombination suppression. Estimated divergence? ~1.5 million years ago! #FungalGenomics #Supergenes

Ragweed's evolutionary edge: Study reveals supergenes behind invasive plant's rapid global invasion

Monash researchers have made a breakthrough discovery about the invasion success of plants, with the revelation that large-scale genetic changes are the common ragweed's secret to rapidly adapting to new environments.

Image of the map in all its glory. One of the curiosities is that one linkage group contains ~28% of the markers, consistent with previous karyotyping. I have frequently supposed that this large chromosome might be associated with the supergene - but this is not the case.

Supergenes power invasive species' success, study finds

Common ragweed, a pest and a major cause of hay fever, is a successful invasive species because it uses "supergenes" to adapt, an international study led by Monash University has found.
