Whole genome duplication provides evolutionary opportunities to increase biological complexity and phenotypic diversity by selective retention of duplicated genes. We identify a small genomic region associated with complex phenotypic variation on duplicate copies of the same ancestral chromosome in salmon (Salmonidae). Across six species, three large-effect loci involved in migration timing, reproduction, and maturation are located in this genomic region. Life history and whole genome resequencing data support lineage-specific evolution of polymorphism related to early- and late-migrating phenotypes. The high frequency of transcription factors and lack of non-synonymous mutations suggests this region influences gene expression rather than modifying gene function. Repeated evolution of large-effect loci in multiple salmon species provides evidence of adaptive evolution facilitated by the salmonid specific whole genome duplication.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
