Gene expression remodelling and immune response during adaptive divergence in an African cichlid fish [PDF]
Abstract Variation in gene expression contributes to ecological speciation by facilitating population persistence in novel environments. Likewise, immune responses can be of relevance in speciation driven by adaptation to different environments. Previous studies examining gene expression differences between recently diverged ecotypes have often relied ...
