VolcanoFinder: genomic scans for adaptive introgression [PDF]

PLOS Genetics, 2019
AbstractRecent research shows that introgression between closely-related species is an important source of adaptive alleles for a wide range of taxa. Typically, detection of adaptive introgression from genomic data relies on comparative analyses that require sequence data from both the recipient and the donor species.

Selective sorting of ancestral introgression in maize and teosinte along an elevational cline.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
While often deleterious, hybridization can also be a key source of genetic variation and pre-adapted haplotypes, enabling rapid evolution and niche expansion.

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]

, 2014
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

Genomic introgression through interspecific hybridization counteracts genetic bottleneck during soybean domestication

Genome Biology, 2019
Background Evidence of introgression, the transfer of genetic material, between crops and their wild relatives through spontaneous hybridization and subsequent backcrossing has been documented; however, the evolutionary patterns and consequences of ...

Introgression Browser: High throughput whole-genome SNP visualization [PDF]

Plant J. 2015 Apr;82(1):174-82, 2015
Breeding by introgressive hybridization is a pivotal strategy to broaden the genetic basis of crops. Usually, the desired traits are monitored in consecutive crossing generations by marker-assisted selection, but their analyses fail in chromosome regions where crossover recombinants are rare or not viable.

The Origin of a New Sex Chromosome by Introgression between Two Stickleback Fishes. [PDF]

, 2019
Introgression is increasingly recognized as a source of genetic diversity that fuels adaptation. Its role in the evolution of sex chromosomes, however, is not well known. Here, we confirm the hypothesis that the Y chromosome in the ninespine stickleback,

Disentangling Immediate Adaptive Introgression from Selection on Standing Introgressed Variation in Humans [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017
Recent studies have reported evidence suggesting that portions of contemporary human genomes introgressed from archaic hominin populations went to high frequencies due to positive selection. However, no study to date has specifically addressed the postintrogression population dynamics of these putative cases of adaptive introgression.

Extensive microsatellite variation in rice induced by introgression from wild rice (Zizania latifolia Griseb.).

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundIt is widely accepted that interspecific hybridization may induce genomic instability in the resultant hybrids. However, few studies have been performed on the genomic analysis of homoploid hybrids and introgression lines.

Pectic enzymes as potential enhancers of ascorbic acid production through the D-galacturonate pathway in Solanaceae [PDF]

, 2018
The increase of L-Ascorbic Acid (AsA) content in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a common goal in breeding programs due to its beneficial effect on human health.

Prevalence and Adaptive Impact of Introgression

Annual Review of Genetics, 2021
Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit, and yet it has long been argued that introgression can be a potent force in evolution, especially in plants. Over the last two decades, genomic data have increasingly
