Assessing biological factors affecting postspeciation introgression

open access: yesEvolution 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 ...

An HMM-based Comparative Genomic Framework for Detecting Introgression in Eukaryotes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
One outcome of interspecific hybridization and subsequent effects of evolutionary forces is introgression, which is the integration of genetic material from one species into the genome of an individual in another species.

The genomic impact of historical hybridization with massive mitochondrial DNA introgression

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2018
Background The extent to which selection determines interspecific patterns of genetic exchange enlightens the role of adaptation in evolution and speciation.

Characterization of introgression from the teosinte Zea mays ssp. mexicana to Mexican highland maize [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Background The spread of maize cultivation to the highlands of central Mexico was accompanied by substantial introgression from the endemic wild teosinte Zea mays ssp.

Detection of T. urartu Introgressions in Wheat and Development of a Panel of Interspecific Introgression Lines [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and disease resistance. By facilitating the generation of genome-wide introgressions leading to a variety of different wheat-T. urartu translocation lines, T.

Alien introgression in rice

open access: yesThe Nucleus, 1997
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity is affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses. The genetic variability for some of these stresses is limited in the cultivated rice germplasm. Moreover, changes in insect biotypes and disease races are a continuing threat to increased rice production. There is thus an urgent need to broaden the rice gene pool by

The Genetic Cost of Neanderthal Introgression [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2015
AbstractApproximately 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 between human and ...

A three-sample test for introgression [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2019
AbstractMany methods exist for detecting introgression between non-sister species, but the most commonly used require either a single sequence from four or more taxa or multiple sequences from each of three taxa. Here we present a test for introgression that uses only a single sequence from three taxa.

Phylogenomic approaches to detecting and characterizing introgression [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2021
AbstractPhylogenomics has revealed the remarkable frequency with which introgression occurs across the tree of life. These discoveries have been enabled by the rapid growth of methods designed to detect and characterize introgression from whole-genome sequencing data.
