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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
