Detecting adaptive introgression in human evolution using convolutional neural networks
eLife, 2021 Studies in a variety of species have shown evidence for positively selected variants introduced into a population via introgression from another, distantly related population—a process known as adaptive introgression.

Genome Biology, 2019 Background Evidence of introgression, the transfer of genetic material, between crops and their wild relatives through spontaneous hybridization and subsequent backcrossing has been documented; however, the evolutionary patterns and consequences of ...

Extensive introgression among strongylocentrotid sea urchins revealed by phylogenomics
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Gametic isolation is thought to play an important role in the evolution of reproductive isolation in broadcast‐spawning marine invertebrates. However, it is unclear whether gametic isolation commonly evolves early in the speciation process or only ...

Selective sorting of ancestral introgression in maize and teosinte along an elevational cline.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 While often deleterious, hybridization can also be a key source of genetic variation and pre-adapted haplotypes, enabling rapid evolution and niche expansion.

PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundIt is widely accepted that interspecific hybridization may induce genomic instability in the resultant hybrids. However, few studies have been performed on the genomic analysis of homoploid hybrids and introgression lines.

The role of recombination landscape in species hybridisation and speciation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 It is now well recognised that closely related species can hybridize and exchange genetic material, which may promote or oppose adaptation and speciation.

Rice Science, 2015 To develop and characterize introgression lines for leaf and neck blast resistance, 326 introgression lines were developed using various accessions of six different AA genome wild species in the genetic background of elite Indian varieties like PR114 and

Deleterious mutation load in the admixed mice population
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Deleterious mutation loads are known to correlate negatively with effective population size (Ne). Due to this reason, previous studies observed a higher proportion of harmful mutations in small populations than that in large populations.

The Spatial Signature of Introgression After a Biological Invasion With Hybridization
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The accumulation of genome-wide molecular data has emphasized the important role of hybridization in the evolution of many organisms, which may carry introgressed genomic segments resulting from past admixture events with other taxa.

The relevance of gene flow with wild relatives in understanding the domestication process [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The widespread use of genomic tools has allowed for a deeper understanding of the genetics and the evolutionary dynamics of domestication. Recent studies have suggested that multiple domestications and introgression are more common than previously ...
