There are wide ranges of variation between rates of divergence; some lineages diverge very quickly while others do not. When rapid divergence leads to speciation events that fill multiple niches, it is termed adaptive radiation. Examples of this include the Galapagos finches [2], the African cichlids [3], and at a broader level the Cambrian radiation [4]. Gene duplication and other genome rearrangement events have been proposed to contribute to (or result from) these explosions of diversification. Copy number variation is associated with diversification by changing gene dosage effects, creating novel gene functions, or by allowing for loss of part of the function of the ancestral gene [6]. African cichlids lend themselves towards research in rapid divergence because these fish consist of closely related clades, some of which have undergone adaptive radiation while others have not. This allows for a large number species to be compared across multiple radiation events. Looking at copy number variation and maintenance of this variation across many cichlid species will allow us begin to infer where and when genome rearrangement events occurred in the evolutionary tree and what effect they might have had. This will increase our understanding of copy number patterns in cichlids as well as other rapidly diversifying species. Previous studies of adaptive radiation in cichlids have used arrays [5] as well as whole genome sequencing [1] to study copy number variation. Both approaches focused on five species within the cichlid lineage. High depth sequencing is expensive which makes it difficult to sequence a large number of individuals. Array-based experiments are cheaper and more feasible for studies with many individuals. However, specific arrays may not be available for non-model organisms such as cichlids.
