Figure 8. Comparative genomics and population genetic differentiation in Arctic charr at 3 mtDNA locations.

Figure 8.

Three variants in the 12s and 16s RNA genes are segregating in charr morphs in Lake Thingvallavatn. A, C, E) Frequency of each of those variants in three morphs from Lake Thingvallavatn (PL, LB and SB). A total of 8 individuals were genotyped from each morph, see methods. B, D, F) Aligned are several fish genomes, with Lamprey or humans as outgroups, reflecting a 38 bp window around each of the 3 positions (). Indicated are the two Arctic charr alleles, the reference allele (S._alpinus_REFcharr_WT) and the derived variant (S._alpinus_VARcharr_M). B) Alignment of variant m1829G>A in the 12s rRNA gene in fishes, using humans as an outgroup. D) Similar alignment of a 16s variant, m3211T>C and F) alignment of variant m3411C>T in the 16s rRNA gene.
