Recombination and the genomic landscape of speciation

该项目旨在通过利用物种形成过程中存在多个重复的创新系统来评估基因组在物种起源期间如何变得不同。该项目希望通过探索性别、迁徙和选择对澳大利亚野花数百个基因组多样性的影响来产生物种形成遗传学领域的知识。该项目的预期成果包括更深入地了解维持自然种群的遗传多样性，以及开发用于研究物种形成的遗传学和生态学的模式生物。该项目应该会带来巨大的好处，包括增强澳大利亚的进化遗传学能力。

This project aims to evaluate how genomes become different during the origin of species by utilising an innovative system where multiple replicates of the speciation process exist. This project expects to generate knowledge in the area of speciation genetics by exploring the effects of sex, migration and selection on the diversity of hundreds of genomes from an Australian wildflower. Expected outcomes of this project include a deeper understanding of the maintenance of genetic diversity in natural populations, and development of a model organism for studying the genetics and ecology of speciation. This project should provide significant benefits including enhanced capacity in evolutionary genetics in Australia.
