Estimates of introgression as a function of pairwise distances [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2017
AbstractBackgroundResearch over the last 10 years highlights the increasing importance of hybridization between species as a major force structuring the evolution of genomes and potentially providing raw material for adaptation by natural and/or sexual selection.

Revival of traditional agricultural systems – A multidisciplinary on‐farm survey of maize‐bean intercropping reveals unexpected competition effects on beans

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cereal‐legume intercropping is a promising strategy for sustainable agroecosystems, leveraging the biological complementarities between plant species to reduce the need for inputs while enhancing field biodiversity. Here, we focused on maize‐bean intercropping, which is experiencing a revival in conventional agricultural settings.

Interspecific Introgressive Origin of Genomic Diversity in the House Mouse [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
We report on a genome-wide scan for introgression in the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) involving the Algerian mouse (Mus spretus), using samples from the ranges of sympatry and allopatry in Africa and Europe. Our analysis reveals wide variability in introgression signatures along the genomes, as well as across the samples.

Removing exogenous information using pedigree data

, 2011
Management of certain populations requires the preservation of its pure genetic background. When, for different reasons, undesired alleles are introduced, the original genetic conformation must be recovered.

Genome-wide signatures of complex introgression and adaptive evolution in the big cats. [PDF]

, 2017
The great cats of the genus Panthera comprise a recent radiation whose evolutionary history is poorly understood. Their rapid diversification poses challenges to resolving their phylogeny while offering opportunities to investigate the historical ...

Developing heterospecific sterile insect technique for pest control: insights from the spotted wing fly Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Irradiated Drosophila melanogaster males successfully court and mate with D. suzukii females and significantly reduce numbers of D. suzukii offspring under different species ratios. Abstract BACKGROUND Reproductive interference (i.e. sexual interaction between males of one species and females of another species that reduce the fitness of one or both ...

Introgression génique assistée par marqueurs [PDF]

INRAE Productions Animales, 1992
L’introgression génique consiste à inclure dans le génome d’une race sélectionnée A, un et un seul gène favorable, G, d’une race B par ailleurs moins productive. Ceci s’effectue classiquement par un premier croisement A×B, suivi d’une série de croisements en retour (Backcross), des descendants portant le gène G, par la race A. Tous ces descendants sont

Detection of Vkorc1 single nucleotide polymorphisms indicates the presence of anticoagulant rodenticide resistance in Australia's introduced rats†

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Introduced rat species in Australia were tested for Vkorc1 gene mutations associated with anticoagulant rodenticide resistance. The widespread occurrence of Tyr25Phe suggests potential resistance is common in Rattus rattus. Image created with BioRender.com Abstract BACKGROUND Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are used globally to manage pest rodent ...
