This research employs genome scans to detect signals of natural selection associated with pollution in populations of Basilichthys microlepidotus. The study identifies genomic regions that may be under selection pressure due to chronic exposure to environmental pollutants, providing insights into the evolutionary adaptation of this endemic Chilean species.
