Weak genetic divergence and signals of adaptation obscured by high gene flow in an economically important aquaculture species
Pacific oysters in the US Pacific coast harbor high genetic heterozygosity which obscures weak population structure. Differences between these Pacific oyster populations could be leveraged for breeding and might be a source of adaptation to new environments.
