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

Introgression has been used to generate novel allotetraploid Brassica germplasm, improving the yield of Brassica napus and expanding the genetic base of Brassica carinata. The identification of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Discover how Neandertal introgression into modern humans shaped our origins and led to key adaptive traits in today's populations. About a month ago I posted quite a bit about Neandertal introgression ...

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 ...
