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

A high quality assembly of the Nile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) genome reveals the structure of two sex determination regions

TL;DR: A significantly improved assembly of the tilapia genome is developed using the latest genome sequencing methods and it is shown how it improves the characterization of two sex determination regions in twotilapia species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin and Evolution of B Chromosomes in the Cichlid Fish Astatotilapia latifasciata Based on Integrated Genomic Analyses

TL;DR: A model in which the B chromosome originated early in the evolutionary history of Lake Victoria cichlid fish from a small fragment of one autosome is proposed, and intact B chromosome genes involved with microtubule organization, kinetochore structure, recombination and progression through the cell cycle may play a role in driving the transmission of the B chromosomes.
