High-density linkage maps and chromosome level genome assemblies unveil direction and frequency of extensive structural rearrangements in wood white butterflies (Leptidea spp.)
L. Höök, K. Näsvall, R. Vila…·N. Backström
The paper generates genome assemblies and linkage maps for Leptidea species to study structural rearrangements, finding extensive fissions, fusions, and polymorphisms, with LINEs and LTR elements enriched at fusion breakpoints.
