VolcanoFinder: Genomic scans for adaptive introgression. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Recent 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 ...

Detecting adaptive introgression in human evolution using convolutional neural networks [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Studies in a variety of species have shown evidence for positively selected variants introduced into a population via introgression from another, distantly related population—a process known as adaptive introgression.

Adaptive Introgression: An Untapped Evolutionary Mechanism for Crop Adaptation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Global environmental changes strongly impact wild and domesticated species biology and their associated ecosystem services. For crops, global warming has led to significant changes in terms of phenology and/or yield.

Archaic adaptive introgression in modern human reproductive genes [PDF]
Communications BiologyModern humans and archaic hominins, namely Denisovans and Neanderthals, have a long history of admixture. Some of these admixture events have allowed modern humans to adapt to new environments outside of Africa.

Local Ancestry and Adaptive Introgression in Xiangnan Cattle [PDF]
BiologyExploring the genetic landscape of native cattle is an exciting avenue for elucidating nuanced patterns of genetic variation and adaptive dynamics. Xiangnan cattle, a native Chinese cattle breed mainly produced in Hunan Province, are well adapted to the ...

On the Distribution of Tract Lengths During Adaptive Introgression [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Admixture is increasingly being recognized as an important factor in evolutionary genetics. The distribution of genomic admixture tracts, and the resulting effects on admixture linkage disequilibrium, can be used to date the timing of admixture between ...

Adaptive Introgression as an Evolutionary Force: A Meta‐Analysis of Knowledge Trends [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsThere is growing evidence for the role of introgressive hybridization in promoting species adaptation (i.e., adaptive introgression) owing to increasing genomic studies on a diversity of taxa over the past decades.

Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression from European mouflon into domestic sheep [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) became extinct from mainland Europe after the Neolithic, but remnant populations from the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia have been used for reintroductions across Europe since the 19th-century.

The genetic diversity of Indonesian cattle has been shaped by multiple introductions and adaptive introgression [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGenetic diversity is a crucial resource in livestock, determining their traits and ability to respond to selection. Indonesian cattle are unique due to their history of admixture involving both zebu (Bos indicus) and banteng (B.
