Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside standing
variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are maintained by …

Natural hybrid zones in forest trees provide systems to study the transfer of adaptive genetic
variation by introgression. Previous landscape genomic studies in Populus trichocarpa, a …

Background: Inappropriate prescribing increases patient illness and death owing to adverse
drug events. The inclusion of genetic information into primary care medication practices is …

Introgression can be an important source of adaptive phenotypes, although conversely it
can have deleterious effects. Evidence for adaptive introgression is accumulating but …

Introgression can introduce novel genetic variation at a faster rate than mutation alone and
result in adaptive introgression when adaptive alleles are maintained in the recipient genome …

Is interspecific hybridization an ordinary part of species biology? And if so, how evolutionarily
important is it? These questions have been discussed in the botanical literature, in one …

Background and Aims A vast quantity of empirical evidence suggests that insufficient
quantity or quality of pollen may lead to a reduction in fruit set, in particular for self-incompatible …

The assembly and maintenance of electrified railway systems is of vital importance for its
correct operation. Contact wires are critical elements since the correct collection of energy from …

Objective A simple, non-invasive sample collection method is key for the integration of
pharmacogenetics into clinical practice. The aim of this study was to gain samples for …

• Premise of study: Molecular population genetics is a powerful tool to infer how species
responded to past environmental change. In the northern hemisphere, interest is increasing in …
