Chromosomal inversions harbour excess mutational load in the coral, Acropora kenti, on the Great Barrier Reef

J. Zhang, N. M. Schneller, M. A. Field, C. X. Chan, D. J. Miller, J. M. Strugnell, C. Riginos, L. Bay, I. R. Cooke

The paper identifies chromosomal inversions in Acropora kenti with excess mutational load, suggesting they are under balancing selection and may impact adaptation and genetic decline.
