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 ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Introduction of nonnative species and consequent genetic introgression of native taxa is a primary conservation concern, particularly for ...

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 ...

The cyprinid fishes, Notropis cornutus and N. chrysocephalus, hybridize in a long, narrow zone in the midwestern United States. To quantify the extent of introgression of genetic markers outside of ...

Research into wood warblers shows that gene sharing across species played a key role in shaping their bright feather colors.

Wood warblers, also called New World warblers, are some of the most colorful birds in North America, with more than a hundred ...
