An Experimental Test of Adaptive Introgression in Locally Adapted Populations of Splash Pool Copepods. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2021 AbstractAs species struggle to keep pace with the rapidly warming climate, adaptive introgression of beneficial alleles from closely related species or populations provides a possible avenue for rapid adaptation. We investigate the potential for adaptive introgression in the copepod, Tigriopus californicus, by hybridizing two populations with divergent

Adaptive and maladaptive introgression in grapevine domestication
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Domesticated grapevines spread to Europe around 3,000 years ago. Previous studies have revealed genomic signals of introgression from wild to cultivated grapes in Europe, but the time, mode, genomic pattern, and biological effects of these introgression events have not been investigated.

Archaic Adaptive Introgression in TBX15/WARS2. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2017 AbstractA recent study conducted the first genome-wide scan for selection in Inuit from Greenland using SNP chip data. Here, we report that selection in the region with the second most extreme signal of positive selection in Greenlandic Inuit favored a deeply divergent haplotype that is closely related to the sequence in the Denisovan genome, and was ...

Adaptive gene introgression after secondary contact [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2014 By hybridization and backcrossing, alleles can surmount species boundaries and be incorporated into the genome of a related species. This introgression of genes is of particular evolutionary relevance if it involves the transfer of adaptations between populations. However, any beneficial allele will typically be associated with other alien alleles that

Insects, 2023 The human management of honey bees (Apis mellifera) has resulted in the widespread introduction of subspecies outside of their native ranges. One well known example of this is Apis mellifera mellifera, native to Northern Europe, which has now been ...

Plants, 2022 Hybridization frequently occurs in plant species. With repeated backcross, the introgression may influence evolutionary trajectories through the entry of foreign genes.

Evidence for archaic adaptive introgression in humans [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2015 As modern and ancient DNA sequence data from diverse human populations accumulate, evidence is increasing in support of the existence of beneficial variants acquired from archaic humans that may have accelerated adaptation and improved survival in new environments - a process known as adaptive introgression.

The timing of human adaptation from Neanderthal introgression [PDF]
Genetics, 2020 Abstract Admixture has the potential to facilitate adaptation by providing alleles that are immediately adaptive in a new environment or by simply increasing the long-term reservoir of genetic diversity for future adaptation. A growing number of cases of adaptive introgression are being identified in species across the tree of life ...

The genomic signature of crop-wild introgression in maize. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The evolutionary significance of hybridization and subsequent introgression has long been appreciated, but evaluation of the genome-wide effects of these phenomena has only recently become possible.
