Only one gene showed a clear link to differences between species. It's active in skin, eyes, and brain & may be tied to colour patterns and mate choice. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Reposted by David Combosch#LIBresearch finds African cichlids often lack fixed sex chromosomes—many use homomorphic, sometimes polygenic systems. Linkage group 3 (LG3), a chromosome, often carries sex-linked genes, but new sex-linked regions also arise across lineages. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... #evolution #genetics
