This study identifies highly polymorphic MHC class II genes in Atlantic herring using long-read sequencing, revealing exceptional diversity and coevolution of gene pairs.

GAIn provides a platform for generating reproducible genomic annotations using declarative pipelines and public repositories of genomic resources.

The paper investigates the origin and maintenance of chromosomal inversions in Atlantic herring, showing they are old, formed by ectopic recombination, and maintained by purifying selection.

This study identifies copy number variation and high genetic diversity at immune-related loci in herring, showing these regions are blind spots in short-read genome scans.
