Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A1) genome and substantially improving
the existing Gossypium arboreum (A2) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD) 1) genomes, we …

To investigate the consequences of hybridization between species, we studied three
replicate hybrid populations that formed naturally between two swordtail fish species …

The origin of domesticated Asian rice (Oryza sativa) has been a contentious topic, with
conflicting evidence for either single or multiple domestication of this key crop species. We …

It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

Hybridization between humans and Neanderthals has resulted in a low level of Neanderthal
ancestry scattered across the genomes of many modern-day humans. After hybridization, on …

Highlights•The genomic landscape of introgression carries information about the fitness

Hybridization and its consequences have been of longstanding interest to evolutionary
biologists. Darwin (1859) included a chapter on hybrids and the expression and causes of …

Most species are extinct, those that are not are often unknown. Sequenced and sampled
species are often a minority of known ones. Past evolutionary events involving horizontal …
