Analysis of structural variants in four African cichlids highlights an association with developmental and immune related genes

Abstract Background East African lake cichlids are one of the most impressive examples of an adaptive radiation. Independently in Lake Victoria, Tanganyika, and Malawi, several hundreds of species arose within the last 10 million to 100,000 years. Whereas most analyses in cichlids focused on nucleot...
