genetics, gene flow (also known as migration and allele flow) is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. If the rate of gene flow is...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission...

Patterson (2006), periods of gene flow between population groups and a process of alternating divergence and gene flow that lasted several million years...

male gene flow from groups with more ANI relatedness into ones with less, or female gene flow in the reverse direction. However, extensive female gene flow...

mutations in the genome, reshuffling of genes through sexual reproduction and migration between populations (gene flow). Despite the constant introduction...

role gene flow plays in local adaptation is complex because gene flow can reduce the likelihood of local adaptation in a population since gene flow is genetic...

hindered the flow of plant genes. Gene flow is the exchange of genes between populations or species, breaking down the structure. Examples of gene flow within...

conventional food, critics consider GM food safety a leading concern. Gene flow, impact on non-target organisms, control of the food supply and intellectual...

opposing forces of selection and gene flow; even if selection against heterozygotes is great, if there is some degree of gene flow between the two populations...

Archaeological and genetic data suggest that long-term bidirectional gene flow between wild and domestic stocks was common is some species, including...

recent gene flow from India into Australia. The study authors sequenced 13 Aboriginal Australian Y chromosomes using recent advances in gene sequencing...

similarity to the grey wolf is the result of substantial dog-into-wolf gene flow, with the modern grey wolf being the dog's nearest living relative. An...

four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift. This change happens over a relatively short (in evolutionary...

speculum due to either the retention of ancestral genetic material or due to gene flow from the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Among North American members of...

Wright, who studied the effect of immigration among populations linked by gene flow. More recently, genetic rescue has been defined by scientific reviews...

Mezmaiskaya cave Neanderthal genome from the Caucasus, suggesting that the gene flow came from a population that was more closely related to the local Altai...

This gene flow may be associated with the introduction of microblade technology to northern Japan but so far, there is no evidence for direct gene flow from...

Assisted gene flow identifies genes that produce desired behaviors, and works to increase the chance that parental transmission of the gene in question...

continuing to exchange genes. This mode of speciation has three distinguishing characteristics: 1) mating occurs non-randomly, 2) gene flow occurs unequally...

isolated and more likely to experience gene flow from populations occupying fish-free habitats; this suggests that gene flow may hinder local adaptation of salamander...

the observed excess of genetic similarity is best explained by recent gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans after the migration out of Africa....

differences, Cochran and Harpending embrace them both. Their discussion of gene flow becomes the core of an argument for biology as central to history, and...

drift. Gene flow, often by migration, is the movement of genetic material (for example by pollen in the wind, or the migration of a bird). Gene flow can...

sequencing has been used to study gene flow between wild and domestic species. There is evidence of widespread gene-flow from dogs into wolf populations...

experiments are not possible. When hybridisation permits substantial gene flow between species. In ring species, when members of adjacent populations...

totally isolated human populations experience no gene flow and most populations have continuous gene flow with other neighboring populations which create...

population bottleneck, other studies have suggested that this a result of gene flow homogenising ancestry. A 2016 genomic study suggests that Old World and...
