(What) can population genomics tell us about the maintenance of genetic variation?
One of the oldest questions in evolutionary biology concerns the maintenance of genetic variation; how and why is variation maintained at loci with effects on fitness, and what was the source of variation contributing to species divergence and isolation. I will discuss our recent work aimed at trying to address these questions using population genomics, QTL mapping, and genome-wide association studies of gene expression variation.
