Increasing data have supported the importance of divergence with gene flow (DGF) in the generation of biological diversity. In such cases, lineage divergence occurs on a shorter timescale than does ...

Gene flow and introgression from cultivated plants may have important consequences for the conservation of wild plant populations. Over the last decade, much attention in risk analysis has been ...

The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

Despite the traditional view that species do not exchange genes by hybridisation, recent studies show that gene flow between closely related species is more common than previously thought. A team of ...

New findings challenge assumptions about species’ ability to persist under climate change. Following a nine-year study of over 100,000 individual Drummond's rockcress plants – a common plant found in ...

By analyzing Escherichia coli (E. coli) genomes, researchers have shown that antimicrobial resistant bacteria and the genes ...

This unit, part of the Nature of Teaching series, explores the effects of barriers and human assistance on wildlife gene flow. Students will learn about the effects of human-induced factors on ...

What are cell and gene therapies? Cell and gene therapies are used to treat, and sometimes cure, diseases by addressing the underlying genes or proteins. While there is overlap between the fields, ...

Gene flow from genetically modified crop plants to their wild relatives will have little overall impact on human health or the environment, predicts a team of researchers in a report released today by ...

• Background and Aims Genetic drift due to geographical isolation, gene flow and mutation rates together make it difficult to determine the evolutionary relationships of present-day species. In this ...

What are cell and gene therapies? Cell and gene therapies are utilized to treat diseases and, in some cases, cure diseases by targeting the underlying proteins or genes. Overlaps between these ...
