The genomic impact of historical hybridization with massive mitochondrial DNA introgression
Genome Biology, 2018 Background The extent to which selection determines interspecific patterns of genetic exchange enlightens the role of adaptation in evolution and speciation.

Molecular systematics of 'Rhododendron ponticum' L. and its close allies [PDF]
, 2012 Rhododendron ponticum, introduced to the British Isles in 1763, has become a noxious invasive pest species, particularly in the west. Material of R. ponticum and its close allies in subsection Pontica were subjected to chloroplast DNA RFLP analysis. A

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

Heliyon, 2021 Interspecies hybridization is driven by a complex interplay of factors where introgression plays an important role. In the present study, the transfer of genetic material, between two quite distant fish species from different genera, through spontaneous ...

A three-sample test for introgression [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2019 Abstract Many 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.

Inferring kangaroo phylogeny from incongruent nuclear and mitochondrial genes [PDF]
, 2013 The marsupial genus Macropus includes three subgenera, the familiar large grazing kangaroos and wallaroos of M. (Macropus) and M. (Osphranter), as well as the smaller mixed grazing/browsing wallabies of M. (Notamacropus).

Benefit of Introgression Depends on Level of Genetic Trait Variation in Cereal Breeding Programmes
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 We investigated the benefit from introgression of external lines into a cereal breeding programme and strategies that accelerated introgression of the favourable alleles while minimising linkage drag using stochastic computer simulation.

INTROGRESSION AMONG BRITISH BIRCH TREES [PDF]
, 2018 Hybridisation may lead to introgression of genes among species. Introgression may be bidirectional or unidirectional, depending on factors such as the demography of the hybridising species, or the nature of reproductive barriers between them.

Effects of asymmetric nuclear introgression, introgressive mitochondrial sweep, and purifying selection on phylogenetic reconstruction and divergence estimates in the Pacific clade of Locustella warblers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 When isolated but reproductively compatible populations expand geographically and meet, simulations predict asymmetric introgression of neutral loci from a local to invading taxon. Genetic introgression may affect phylogenetic reconstruction by obscuring
