Evolution of genomic structural variation and genomic architecture in the adaptive radiations of African cichlid fishes

African cichlid fishes are an ideal system for studying explosive rates of speciation and the origin of diversity in adaptive radiation. Within the last few million years, more than 2000 species have evolved in the Great Lakes of East Africa, the largest adaptive radiation in vertebrates. These youn...
