Recent genomic analyses of sequence data from archaic humans have detected evidence of gene flow from the genomes of archaic humans to modern humans. Several studies have identified DNA segments ...

Hybridization has a major role in evolution—from the introgression of important phenotypic traits between species, to the creation of new species through hybrid speciation. Molecular studies 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 ...

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 ...
