Abstract: Fixed chromosomal inversions can reduce gene flow and promote speciation in two ways: by suppressing recombination and by carrying locally favored alleles at multiple loci. However, it is unknown whether favored mutations slowly accumulate on older inversions or if young inversions spread because they capture preexisting adaptive Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs). By genetic mapping, chromosome painting and genome sequencing we have identified a major inversion controlling ecologically important traits in Boecher… Show more

“…The enrichment of gene expression differences in our study is consistent with patterns found in inversions between chimpanzees and humans (Marquès‐Bonet et al., ) and Drosophila (Fuller et al., ; Said et al., ), but contrasts with results for the plant Boechera stricta (Lee et al., ). While the finding of an enrichment of differential gene expression for inversions in this study and others is consistent with the supergene hypothesis of inversion evolution, it is by no means definitive proof.…”
