TL;DR: It is found that genes that were retained as duplicates after the teleost-specific whole-genome duplication 320 million years ago were not more likely to be retained after the Ss4R, and that the duplicate retention was not influenced to a great extent by the nature of the predicted protein interactions of the gene products.

TL;DR: This work identifies a large effect locus controlling age at maturity in Atlantic salmon, an important fitness trait in which selection favours earlier maturation in males than females, and shows it is a clear example of sex-dependent dominance that reduces intralocus sexual conflict and maintains adaptive variation in wild populations.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the migratory ecotype experiences strong directional selection for the two adjacent inversions on LG1, and hypothesize the co-occurrence of multiple adaptive alleles forming a 'supergene' in the NEAC population.

TL;DR: The results show sex-dependent dominance reversal across a large autosomal supergene, a mechanism for sexual conflict resolution capable of protecting sexually antagonistic variation while avoiding the homozygous lethality and deleterious mutations associated with typical heteromorphic sex chromosomes.

TL;DR: The results argue for an increase in the frequency of the CSN2_67 C allele or haplotypes containing this allele in the Norwegian Red cattle population by selective breeding.
