Fitness of #introgressing (blocks of) alleles after #hybridization: Andrius Dagilis & @danielrmatute use a simple model to reveal qualitative differences in which parts of the genome can #introgress as species diverge #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3XSPnlf

What I believe we are experiencing in America today is a #hybridization of #theocracy and #fascism, both present in the #MAGA movement. The result would be horrifying with power consolidated to a very few and widespread discrimination of anyone with different religious beliefs. SCOTUS is on the cusp of selling out the separation of church and state.

#hybridization can contribute to the advancement of modern #agriculture! Learn more about the potential of unlocking this efficient practice:

Our PhyloCoalSimulations.jl :julia:package simulates gene genealogies under an extended #coalescent model with #hybridization and gene flow.

I hope it will stimulate more simulation-based studies!

The #network is given in Newick format, and gene trees can be mapped inside the species (or population) network.
