🦪Almost forgot.Interested in your local pop of oyster level of inbreeding? All good if you ain't dutch ;)

These large chromosomal inversions house variants potentially shielded from local extirpation following translocations. They provide another layer of information for conservation management of the species.

We sampled all over the natural range of the species (thanks to many partners). We found a lack of a signal from oyster translocation efforts and some segregating inversions that may be associated with adaptation. 3/n

🦪 Out yesterday some genome-wide work on the native European flat oyster , Ostrea edulis. Once widespread along European coasts but is now functionally extinct due to overfishing and disease. Threads 1/n 🦪
