Divergent reference genomes compromise the reconstruction of demographic histories, selection scans, and population genetic summary statistics
Characterizing genetic variation in natural populations is central to evolutionary biology. However, most non-model organisms lack integral genomic resources such as reference genomes and recombinatio...
