Abstract

I will discuss the completion of the high-quality genome of the Texas Cichlid (H. cyanoguttatus) and its use investigating H. minckleyi in the Cuatro Ciénegas basin. Genome resequencing of 100 H. minckleyi highlight both the geographical regions of the basin showing highest levels of introgression and which parts of the H. minckleyi genome show substantial introgression.
