The mimetic females come in three distinct patterns and, for decades, scientists believed that these different disguises were controlled by a “supergene”—a cluster of genes that each control different ...

The sequence data suggest that the supergene originally arose following an inversion event that prevented reshuffling with a sister chromosome. “It’s rather like the emergence of a new sex chromosome, ...

It pointed out that this probable supergene enrichment was evident in hole 25TTRC004 and historical drilling that returned results such as 17m at 3.05g/t gold and 40g/t silver from 22m and 33m at ...
