Genomes of closely-related species or populations often display localized regions of enhanced relative sequence divergence, termed genomic islands. It has been proposed that these islands arise through selective sweeps and/or barriers to gene flow. Here, we genetically dissect a genomic island that controls flower color pattern differences between two subspecies of <i>Antirrhinum majus</i>, <i>A.m.striatum</i> and <i>A.m.pseudomajus</i>, and relate it to clinal variation across a natural hybrid ...[more]
