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 ...

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

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 ...

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