Unraveling the secrets of fast divergence in the South Brazilian Highlands: geographic isolation, ecological adaptation, and hybridization

This study uses Petunia species to investigate the main drivers of their rapid divergence and the colonization of highlands. Employing low coverage genome sequencing (DArT-seq) and a genomic population approach, we focused on detecting structuration, ecological inference, hybridization/introgression, and phylogenetic patterns

本研究以碧冬茄属（Petunia）物种为研究对象，旨在探究其快速分化与高原定植的主要驱动因素。本研究采用低覆盖度基因组测序（low coverage genome sequencing）与DArT-seq技术，并运用种群基因组研究方法，重点聚焦于种群遗传结构检测、生态推断、杂交/基因渐渗分析以及系统发育模式解析。
