The origin and maintenance of supergenes contributing to ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

Abstract Chromosomal inversions are associated with local adaptation in many species. However, questions regarding how they are formed, maintained and impact various other evolutionary processes remain elusive. Here, using a large genomic dataset of long-read and short-read sequencing, we ask these...
