How chromosomal inversions reorient the evolutionary process
Berdan, Emma L.; Barton, Nicholas H.; Butlin, Roger; Charlesworth, Brian; Faria, Rui; De mendonça fragata almeida, Inês; Gilbert, Kimberly J.; Jay, PaulInversions are structural mutations that reverse the sequence of a chromosome segment and reduce the effective rate of recombination in the heterozygous state. They play a major role in adaptation, as well as in other evolutionary processes such as speciation. Although inversions have been studied since the 1920s, they remain difficult to investigate because the reduced recombination conferred by them strengthe...
