The paper analyzes 1,375 Malawi cichlid genomes to show that sex-linked chromosomal inversions drive adaptive speciation through introgression and selection on neuro-sensory, physiological, and reproductive genes.

The paper investigates the dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in African cichlid fishes, revealing expanded piwil1 genes and divergent piRNA-producing loci.

The paper investigates genetic and developmental divergence in the neural crest programme between cichlid fish species, identifying sox10 paralogs as key drivers of morphological differences.

The paper investigates epigenetic divergence in two ecomorphs of Astatotilapia calliptera, finding methylome differences linked to ecological adaptation and showing that these differences can be inherited across generations.

The paper examines methylome and transcriptome divergence in Lake Malawi cichlid fishes, finding links between epigenetic changes and ecological adaptation.

The paper shows that alterations in sperm long RNA contribute to the inheritance of trauma-induced behavioral and metabolic effects.
