Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) can play an important role in evolutionary diversification by preserving linkage among favourable alleles through reduced recombination and/or by reducing hybrid fitness due to genomic incompatibilities. Our goal was to determine to what extent CRs contribute to known patterns of genetic variation in Arctic charr ( Salvelinus alpinus). To address this goal, we compared genetic linkage maps to identify whole arm CRs and smaller scale structural variants (SVs) such as translocations/transpositions and inversions found in groups of populations that reflect the temporal sequence of geographic isolation events. If CRs contribute to genetic differentiation, we expected that CRs would be specific to glacial lineages, geographic clusters of populations within lineages, and sympatric morphs. We detected fusions and fissions of whole chromosome arms and SV involving translocations/transpositions of the sex-determining gene ( sdY) and inversions. Several CRs were shared across populations from the Arctic and Atlantic glacial lineages, Canadian and Icelandic populations within the Atlantic lineage, between two Icelandic populations and sympatric morphs within Icelandic populations, suggesting that their origin predates geographic isolation in glacial refugia. Other CRs were specific to single populations, which suggests a more recent origin of these variants in refugia, during post-glacial recolonization and/or in contemporary populations. Thus, CRs contribute relatively little to known patterns of genetic differentiation at different geographic scales but represent a pool of standing genetic variation for evolution.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
