A three-dimensional genomics view for speciation research
Ashwini V. Mohan, Paula Escuer, Camille Cornet, Kay Lucek
Abstract
Genomic information is folded in a three-dimensional (3D) structure, a rarely explored evolutionary driver of speciation. Technological advances now enable the study of 3D genome structures (3DGSs) across the Tree of Life. At the onset of 3D speciation genomics, we discuss the putative roles of 3DGSs in speciation.
