High-resolution mapping reveals hundreds of genetic incompatibilities in hybridizing fish species

Hybridization is increasingly being recognized as a common process in both animal and plant species. Negative epistatic interactions between genes from different parental genomes decrease the fitness of hybrids and can limit gene flow between species. However, little is known about the number and ge...
