The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish

David Brawand, +82 more
- 18 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article found an excess of gene duplications in the East African lineage compared to Nile tilapia and other teleosts, an abundance of non-coding element divergence, accelerated coding sequence evolution, expression divergence associated with transposable element insertions, and regulation by novel microRNAs.

The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish

David Brawand, +82 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a number of molecular mechanisms shaped East African cichlid genomes, and that amassing of standing variation during periods of relaxed purifying selection may have been important in facilitating subsequent evolutionary diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hybridization between two divergent lineages facilitated this process by providing genetic variation that subsequently became recombined and sorted into many new species, indicating rapid and extensive adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide RAD sequence data provide unprecedented resolution of species boundaries and relationships in the Lake Victoria cichlid adaptive radiation

TL;DR: This work uses NGS data generated from reduced representation genomic libraries of restriction‐site‐associated DNA (RAD) markers to infer phylogenetic relationships among 16 species of cichlid fishes from a single rocky island community within Lake Victoria's cICHlid adaptive radiation, and produces phylogenetic trees with unprecedented resolution for this group.
