The genetic architecture of local adaptation I : The genomic landscape 1 of foxtail pine ( Pinus balfouriana Grev . & Balf . ) as revealed from a 2 high - density

Explaining the origin and evolutionary dynamics of the genetic architecture of adaptation is 8 a major research goal of evolutionary genetics. Despite controversy surrounding success of the attempts 9 to accomplish this goal, a full understanding of adaptive genetic variation necessitates knowledge about 10 C.
