Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TurtleHyb (Reconstructing hybridization events between sea turtle species separated by 30 million years: genomic patterns and evolutionary consequences)

Hybridization is a natural experiment of new genomic combinations. The encounter of two genomes that have been evolving separately will bring together untested allelic combinations that are usually unfavorable1 resulting in reduced hybrid viability or fertility. Whole genome...
