Forward-in-time simulation of chromosomal rearrangements: The invisible backbone that sustains long-term adaptation

Paul Banse et al.

Summary: While little is known about the evolutionary significance of chromosomal rearrangements, the study using Aevol simulation platform shows that chromosomal rearrangements make decisive contributions to evolutionary dynamics by expanding the gene repertoire, reducing the effect of diminishing-returns epistasis, and regulating the size of the genome through indirect selection for reproductive robustness.

Natural selection and the distribution of chromosomal inversion lengths

Tim Connallon et al.

Summary: Chromosomal inversions play a substantial role in genome evolution, with the length of inversions affecting their evolutionary fates across different types. Small rearrangements contribute the most to genome evolution under neutral and underdominant scenarios, while directly beneficial inversions prefer small rearrangements for fixation and maintain intermediate-to-large inversions as balanced polymorphisms.

Positive Selection during Niche Adaptation Results in Large-Scale and Irreversible Rearrangement of Chromosomal Gene Order in Bacteria

Sha Cao et al.

Summary: Analysis of bacterial genomes reveals that the linear order of genes on the chromosome is often not conserved among different species. Through experimental research on Salmonella, this study provides the first evidence supporting the SNAP hypothesis, which suggests that positive selection during niche adaptation can drive rearrangements in chromosomal gene order. The findings show that the gene order on the Salmonella chromosome changed significantly and irreversibly after adaptation to a new environment.

A survey of current methods to detect and genotype inversions

Vincent C. T. Hanlon et al.

Summary: Polymorphic inversions are common in humans and have been linked to adaptation and disease. Various methods have been developed for the detection and genotyping of inversions, utilizing complex wet lab protocols or sophisticated bioinformatic analyses.

Getting higher on rugged landscapes: Inversion mutations open access to fitter adaptive peaks in NK fitness landscapes

Leonardo Trujillo et al.

Summary: In this study, a minimal model of sequence inversions is introduced to simulate adaptive walks in molecular evolution. The results show that compared to point mutations, inversion mutations can allow the evolutionary process to escape local fitness peaks and reach higher fitness values.

Deleterious mutation accumulation and the long-term fate of chromosomal inversions

Emma L. Berdan et al.

Summary: Chromosomal inversions, segments of chromosomes that are flipped relative to normal orientation, can facilitate evolutionary processes like adaptation and speciation. Inverted regions with reduced recombination allow for beneficial allele combinations, influencing the evolution of the allelic content inside them. Accumulation of deleterious mutations in inverted regions can lead to divergence between arrangements and offer a selective advantage for individuals with heterozygous arrangements, maintaining inversion polymorphism in the population.

Unboxing mutations: Connecting mutation types with evolutionary consequences

Emma L. Berdan et al.

Summary: The proposed research framework uses the population genetic effects of mutations to determine their relative evolutionary significance in a given scenario. Further study on population genetic effects of different mutation types and their connection to different evolutionary outcomes is needed. Linking experimental and theoretical approaches to examine different mutation types simultaneously is crucial for understanding their evolutionary significance.
