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...

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...

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

archaeological and genetic data suggest that long-term bidirectional gene flow between wild and domestic stocks – including donkeys, horses, New and...

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

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...

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...

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...

is a term for uncontrolled gene flow into wild populations. It is defined as "the dispersal of contaminated altered genes from genetically engineered...

two forces of evolution that act on mate choice: natural selection and gene flow. Selection acts as the main driver of reinforcement as it selects against...

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

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...
