Is Super Gene worth reading? Yes for the first God's Sanctuary arc: eat monsters, gain geno points, evolve. Readers say it repeats after that.

As of 2024 the Lesser Redpoll is no longer its own species. Genome work lumped it with Common and Arctic Redpoll into one bird. A single supergene turns out to drive all those plumage differences.

Amazing!! Can’t wait to read, I’ve been terribly curious to learn more about the sex ratio supergene :)
This past summer, work from my dissertation was published in MBE ! We found that the sex ratio supergene in Formica likely has two origins, one Nearctic and one Palearctic. This likely happened due to recombination between two standing haplotypes that underlie colony queen number! 🐜🐜
@g-lagunasrobles.bsky.social et al. used WGS in Formica ants to study supergene diversification and gain of function, finding evidence for two origins of the MD haplotype.
