Exciting new work from the lab led by @lagiven.bsky.social & co-advised by @tododge.bsky.social mapping pigmentation variation in the swordtail X. nezahualcoyotl!

Sex-linked traits are widespread, but their genetic architecture has been challenging to characterize, due in part to the repetitive and structurally complex nature of sex chromosomes. In swordtails a...
