Genomic signatures of selection are enriched in differentially expressed genes in sticklebacks adapting to contrasting environments

Alexander Kwakye, Natalie Dzikowski, Matthew A. Wund, Krishna R. Veeramah

The paper links genomic signatures of selection to differentially expressed genes in sticklebacks adapting to marine and freshwater environments, showing enrichment of adaptive SNPs in these genes.

Rare Jackpot Individuals Drive Rapid Adaptation in Threespine Stickleback

Alexander Kwakye, Kerry Reid, Matthew A. Wund…·Krishna R. Veeramah

The paper shows that a few individuals with large haploblocks of adaptive alleles drove rapid freshwater adaptation in Threespine Stickleback, with inbreeding reducing genetic load.

Genome Sequence of a Marine Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from Rabbit Slough in the Cook Inlet

Eric H. Au, Seth Weaver, Anushka Katikaneni…·Craig B. Lowe

The paper presents a high-quality marine Threespine Stickleback genome assembly from Rabbit Slough, which includes regions deleted in freshwater populations and provides a better reference for evolutionary studies.
