DOE Joint Genome Institute and Duke University researchers utilized a relative of the model plant Arabidopsis to provide the first direct evidence that QTLs, genome regions on chromosomes to which genetic traits can be mapped, are a driving force behind speciation. This research appeared in in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Read on at the DOE JGI website.
