Research on genetic mechanism of pig altitude-adaptations underlines the importance of introgression for the first time as a potential reason for pig adaptations to cold and hot environments. This ...

Introgression is the permanent integration of genes into a new genome through several generations of hybridization and backcrossing. Like all genes, transgenes are subject to new selective pressures ...

I heard from a long-time correspondent this morning concerning introgression of microcephalin from archaic humans. I'm not sharing the whole message, but I thought it would be worth paraphrasing a key ...

Hybridization may often be an important source of adaptive variation, but the extent and long-term impacts of introgression have seldom been evaluated in the phylogenetic context of a radiation. Hares ...

Learn about introgression in genetics through intriguing species interactions and hybridization examples, like the East European mouse. Introgression is a term used in genetics, particularly plant ...

Peaches, with their low genetic variability, stand in contrast to their diverse relative, the almond. While both are inter-compatible, producing fertile hybrids, almonds offer a rich source of new ...

Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than ...
