This study found that the interaction
between these
genomes and the implications on energy production is strong enough that the mitochondrial
genome can alter which version of a gene is present in the
nuclear genome.
Here we show variation
between incompatible Culex strains in two Wolbachia ankyrin repeat - encoding genes associated with a prophage region, one of which is sex - specifically expressed in some strains, and also a direct effect of the host
nuclear genome on CI rescue.
Genetic studies using samples along the distribution range of both subspecies and based on a few dozen
nuclear markers have revealed loci of relatively high divergence (0.3 — 1.2 %)
between subspecies embedded in a
genome otherwise characterized by low levels of differentiation and high levels of bidirectional gene flow [21], [24]--[26], likely facilitated by high effective population sizes, high dispersal, and a relatively short generation time [21], [24]--[26].
The 150,000 - year window is based on mitochondrial
genome data, and since
nuclear data show a different phylogenetic pattern and confirm a sister relationships
between the two species, it is no surprise that an estimated split
between these two species appear to be older.
