There are signals of #introgression throughout the genus #Helianthus (#Sunflowers). The member species are largely reproductively isolated but are nevertheless connected through through occasional or frequent gene flow.

Are you interested in #evolution, #mitochondria, #introgression, #coevolution of mitochondrial and nuclear genes, or genomic #differentiation landscapes?
Then this paper is for you!
Published today in Heredity:
"High heterogeneity in genomic differentiation between
phenotypically divergent songbirds: a test of mitonuclear co-
introgression"
The study was led by Ellen Nikelski.

« Les Africains sortent d’Afrique il y a 60 000 ans, arrivent en Europe, mais ils ne sont pas adaptés ni au froid européen, ni aux pathogènes européens ; ils trouvent sur place les Néandertaliens qui habitaient en Europe depuis 300 000 ans, donc ils étaient adaptés, par définition ; ce qu’on a pu montrer, c’est une #introgression adaptative de Néandertal vers Sapiens » (46’30)
#genetics #paleogenetics #introgression #hominins An article published in the journal "Nature" reports a genetic study carried out using data obtained from 27,566 Icelanders to understand which parts of modern humans' genome contain genes inherited from #Neanderthals discovering genese inherited from #Denisovans as well.
