The genetic population structure of Lake Tanganyika's Lates species flock, an endemic radiation of pelagic top predators

J. A. Rick, J. Junker, I. A. Kimirei, E. A. Sweke, J. B. Mosille, C. Dinkel, S. Mwaiko, O. Seehausen, C. E. Wagner

The paper investigates genetic connectivity in four Lake Tanganyika Lates species using genomic sequencing, finding strong differentiation between species and weak structure within some species.

Structural genomic variation leads to unexpected genetic differentiation in Lake Tanganyika's sardines

J. Junker, J. A. Rick, P. B. McIntyre, I. Kimirei, E. A. Sweke, J. B. Mosille, B. Wehrli, C. Dinkel, S. Mwaiko, O. Seehausen, C. E. Wagner

The paper identifies sex-specific genomic regions and a segregating inversion in two Lake Tanganyika sardine species, revealing rapid XY sex determination evolution and population structure not explained by geography.

Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity

K. L. Carleton, M. Conte, M. Malinsky, S. P. Nandamuri, B. A. Sandkam, J. I. Meier, S. Mwaiko, O. Seehausen, T. D. Kocher

The paper identifies transposable element (TE)-induced indels as causative variants for visual sensitivity shifts in Lake Malawi cichlids, linking TE mobility to phenotypic diversity.
