Scientists just found DNA “supergenes” that speed up evolution

Researchers have uncovered a powerful genetic mechanism that may help explain how some species evolve with surprising speed. Certain sections of DNA, known as "flipped" segments, appear to help fish rapidly adapt to new environments and even split into entirely new species. These genetic features act like evolutionary accelerators, preserving useful traits and speeding up change.
