The Thorny Skate (Amblyraja radiata) is a vulnerable species displaying a
discrete size-polymorphism in the northwest Atlantic Ocean (NWA). We conducted whole genome sequencing of samples collected across its range.
Genetic diversity was similar at all sampled sites, but we discovered a ~ 31
megabase bi-allelic supergene associated with the size polymorphism, with the
larger size allele having ...
