Asymmetric Somatic Hybridization Affects Synonymous Codon Usage Bias in Wheat
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Asymmetric somatic hybridization is an efficient strategy for crop breeding by introducing exogenous chromatin fragments, which leads to whole genomic shock and local chromosomal shock that induces genome-wide genetic variation including indel (insertion

The geometry and genetics of hybridization [PDF]
Evolution, 2019 AbstractWe develop an analytical framework for predicting the fitness of hybrid genotypes, based on Fisher’s geometric model. We first show that all of the model parameters have a simple geometrical and biological interpretation. Hybrid fitness decomposes into intrinsic effects of hybridity and heterozygosity, and extrinsic measures of the (local ...

Genetic Evidence of Hybridization between the Endangered Native Species Iguana delicatissima and the Invasive Iguana iguana (Reptilia, Iguanidae) in the Lesser Antilles: Management Implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The worldwide increase of hybridization in different groups is thought to have become more important with the loss of isolating barriers and the introduction of invasive species. This phenomenon could result in the extinction of endemic species.

Rapid mapping of chromosomal breakpoints: from blood to BAC in 20 days [PDF]
, 2009 Structural chromosome aberrations and associated segmental or chromosomal aneusomies are major causes of reproductive failure in humans. Despite the fact that carriers of reciprocal balanced translocation often have no other clinical symptoms or ...

Bucking the trend in wolf-dog hybridization: first evidence from europe of hybridization between female dogs and male wolves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Studies on hybridization have proved critical for understanding key evolutionary processes such as speciation and adaptation. However, from the perspective of conservation, hybridization poses a concern, as it can threaten the integrity and fitness of ...

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]
, 2019 Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.

No more time to stay ‘single’ in the detection of Anisakis pegreffii, A. simplex (s. s.) and hybridization events between them: a multi-marker nuclear genotyping approach [PDF]
, 2016 A multi-marker nuclear genotyping approach was performed on larval and adult specimens of Anisakis spp. (N = 689) collected from fish and cetaceans in allopatric and sympatric areas of the two species Anisakis pegreffii and Anisakis simplex (s.

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with ‘‘Common Design [PDF]
, 2010 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co-occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree-like representations of life’s diversification are
