Intrinsic incompatibilities evolving as a by-product of divergent ecological selection : Considering them in empirical studies on divergence with gene flow [PDF]
The possibility of intrinsic barriers to gene flow is often neglected in empirical research on local adaptation and speciation with gene flow, for example when interpreting patterns observed in genome scans.

Background Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are among the most common and incurable malignant neoplasms of childhood. Despite aggressive, multimodal treatment, the outcome of children with high-grade gliomas has not significantly improved over the ...

Distributional shifts driven by Quaternary climatic oscillations have been suggested to cause interspecific hybridization and introgression. In this study, we aimed to test this hypothesis by using population transcriptomes and coalescent modeling of two

Suppressing evolution in genetically engineered systems through repeated supplementation
Genetically engineered organisms are prone to evolve in response to the engineering. This evolution is often undesirable and can negatively affect the purpose of the engineering.

Variability and genetic structure in fragments of Eugenia involucrata De Candolle established through microsatellite markers [PDF]
ABSCTRACT: Eugenia involucrata DC. is a forest species with high environmental and economic potential. The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic variability and analyzed the genetic structure of three natural fragments located in the ...

Cryptolepis sanguinolenta is an important medicinal plant used in the treatment of malaria in Ghana. Overharvesting, destruction of entire plant populations and poor seed viability have resulted in a substantial decrease in wild populations thereby ...

Flower color polymorphism, an infrequent but phylogenetically widespread condition in plants, is captivating because it can only be maintained under a few selective regimes but also because it can drive intra-morph assortative mating and promote ...

The relevance of gene flow with wild relatives in understanding the domestication process [PDF]
The widespread use of genomic tools has allowed for a deeper understanding of the genetics and the evolutionary dynamics of domestication. Recent studies have suggested that multiple domestications and introgression are more common than previously ...

Exogenous genes of transgenic crops are usually transferred to their wild-type relatives through pollen-mediated gene flow, which may change the ecological fitness and ability to invade wild populations, resulting in the weeding of wild plants and other ...
