Research on genetic mechanism of pig altitude-adaptations underlines the importance of introgression for the first time as a potential reason for pig adaptations to cold and hot environments. This ...

Introgression is the permanent integration of genes into a new genome through several generations of hybridization and backcrossing. Like all genes, transgenes are subject to new selective pressures ...

I heard from a long-time correspondent this morning concerning introgression of microcephalin from archaic humans. I'm not sharing the whole message, but I thought it would be worth paraphrasing a key ...

Learn about introgression in genetics through intriguing species interactions and hybridization examples, like the East European mouse. Introgression is a term used in genetics, particularly plant ...

New Phytologist is a leading world journal, publishing original research papers on all aspects of the plant sciences. It publishes also a prestigious series of invited reviews, Tansley Reviews, named ...

The cyprinid fishes, Notropis cornutus and N. chrysocephalus, hybridize in a long, narrow zone in the midwestern United States. To quantify the extent of introgression of genetic markers outside of ...

The physical movement of species determines their potential scope to leave their primary ecosystem behind in the quest for new niches in which to survive or reproduce--a decisive factor for the ...

Thousands of years ago, archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans went extinct. But before that, they interbred with the ancestors of present-day humans, who still to this day carry genetic ...

Research into wood warblers shows that gene sharing across species played a key role in shaping their bright feather colors.
