A need for standardized reporting of introgression: Insights from studies across eukaryotes
Evolution Letters, 2022 With the rise of affordable next‐generation sequencing technology, introgression—or the exchange of genetic materials between taxa—has become widely perceived to be a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.

Ghost introgression facilitates genomic divergence of a sympatric cryptic lineage in Cycas revoluta
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 A cryptic lineage is a genetically diverged but morphologically unrecognized variant of a known species. Clarifying cryptic lineage evolution is essential for quantifying species diversity. In sympatric cryptic lineage divergence compared with allopatric

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 Genetic Cost of Neanderthal Introgression [PDF]
Genetics, 2015 Abstract Approximately 2–4% of genetic material in human populations outside Africa is derived from Neanderthals who interbred with anatomically modern humans. Recent studies have shown that this Neanderthal DNA is depleted around functional genomic regions; this has been suggested to be a consequence of harmful epistatic interactions

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Introgression from wild relatives is a valuable source of novel allelic diversity for breeding. We investigated the genomic patterns of introgression from Aegilops tauschii, the diploid ancestor of the wheat D genome, into winter wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Biology, 2023 As an important driving force, introgression plays an essential role in shaping the evolution of plant species. However, knowledge concerning how introgression affects plant evolution in agroecosystems with strong human influences is still limited.

Assessing biological factors affecting postspeciation introgression
Evolution Letters, 2020 An increasing number of phylogenomic studies have documented a clear “footprint” of postspeciation introgression among closely related species. Nonetheless, systematic genome‐wide studies of factors that determine the likelihood of introgression remain ...
