Genome-wide Scan of Archaic Hominin Introgressions in Eurasians Reveals Complex Admixture History [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Introgressions from Neanderthals and Denisovans were detected in modern humans. Introgressions from other archaic hominins were also implicated, however, identification of which poses a great technical challenge. Here, we introduced an approach in identifying introgressions from all possible archaic hominins in Eurasian genomes, without referring to ...

Evidence for suppression of immunity as a driver for genomic introgressions and host range expansion in races of Albugo candida, a generalist parasite [PDF]

, 2015
How generalist parasites with wide host ranges can evolve is a central question in parasite evolution. Albugo candida is an obligate biotrophic parasite that consists of many physiological races that each specialize on distinct Brassicaceae host species.

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 ...

More sustainability in Europe's vineyards – Using resistant grapevine varieties to reduce the input of pesticides

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Widespread adoption of disease‐resistant grapevine varieties presents a significant opportunity to revolutionize viticulture and address pressing environmental concerns. By reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, these varieties align with the European Commission's Green Deal objectives, striving for sustainable agricultural

Introgression makes waves in inferred histories of effective population size [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Human populations have a complex history of introgression and of changing population size. Human genetic variation has been affected by both these processes, so that inference of past population size depends upon the pattern of gene flow and introgression among past populations.

The consequences of an introgression event [PDF]

Molecular Ecology, 2018
AbstractHanemaaijer et al. (Molecular Ecology, 27, 2018) describe the genetic consequences of the introgression of an insecticide resistance allele into a mosquito population. Linked alleles initially increased, but many of these later declined. It is hard to determine whether this decline was due to counter‐selection, rather than simply to chance.

Selection in the Introgressed Regions of the Chimpanzee Genome [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
During the demographic history of the Pan clade, there has been gene-flow between species, likely >200,000 years ago. Bonobo haplotypes in three subspecies of chimpanzee have been identified to be segregating in modern-day chimpanzee populations, suggesting that these haplotypes, with increased differentiation, may be a target of natural selection ...

Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

Leveraging shared ancestral variation to detect local introgression.

PLoS Genetics
Introgression is a common evolutionary phenomenon that results in shared genetic material across non-sister taxa. Existing statistical methods such as Patterson's D statistic can detect introgression by measuring an excess of shared derived alleles ...

Genetic introgression of farmed salmon in native populations: quantifying the relative influence of population size and frequency of escapees

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015
Farmed escapees may threaten the genetic integrity of native salmon populations through interbreeding. However, introgression requires survival until maturation, successful reproduction and successful early development. These traits are often compromised
