Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do atlantic salmon populations reveal adaptive divergence of immune related genes - a duplicated genome under selection?
Answer: Our results show that natural selection acting on immune related genes has contributed to genetic divergence between salmon populations in Norway. The differences between populations may have been facilitated by the plasticity of the salmon genome. The observed signatures of selection in duplicated genomic regions suggest that the recently duplicated genome has provided raw material for evolutionary adaptation.
Output (English): yes
