SAI: A Python Package for Statistics for Adaptive Introgression. [PDF]
Mol Biol EvolAbstract Adaptive introgression is an important evolutionary process, which can be identified with widely used summary statistics, such as the number of uniquely shared sites and the quantile of the derived allele frequencies in such sites.

Disentangling Immediate Adaptive Introgression from Selection on Standing Introgressed Variation in Humans. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2018 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.

The extent of adaptive wild introgression in crops [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 SummaryThe study of crop evolution has focused primarily on the process of initial domestication. Post‐domestication adaptation during the expansion of crops from their centers of origin has received considerably less attention. Recent research has revealed that, in at least some instances, crops have received introgression from their wild relatives ...

Interspecific introgression mediates adaptation to whole genome duplication [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Abstract Adaptive gene flow is a consequential phenomenon across all kingdoms. Although recognition is increasing, there is no study showing that bidirectional gene flow mediates adaptation at loci that manage core processes.

Adaptive Introgression: The Seeds of Resistance [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Populations of the European house mouse have acquired resistance to anticoagulant pesticides from a closely related species. This discovery improves our understanding of the circumstances in which interspecific genetic exchange is likely to facilitate adaptation.

Large-scale introgression shapes the evolution of the mating-type chromosomes of the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The significance of introgression as an evolutionary force shaping natural populations is well established, especially in animal and plant systems. However, the abundance and size of introgression tracts, and to what degree interspecific gene flow is the

The genic view of hybridization in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun: the Anthropocene. Continuing human activities, including land‐use changes, introduction of non‐native species and rapid climate change, are altering the ...
