Quantifying introgression risk with realistic population genetics.
Introgression is the permanent incorporation of genes from the genome of one population into another. This can have severe consequences, such as extinction of endemic species, or the spread of transgenes. Quantification of the risk of introgression is an important component of genetically modified crop regulation. Most theoretical introgression studies aimed at such quantification disregard one...
متن کاملQuantifying rooting at depth in a wheat doubled haploid population with introgression from wild emmer
Background and Aims The genetic basis of increased rooting below the plough layer, post-anthesis in the field, of an elite wheat line (Triticum aestivum 'Shamrock') with recent introgression from wild emmer (T. dicoccoides), is investigated. Shamrock has a non-glaucous canopy phenotype mapped to the short arm of chromosome 2B (2BS), derived from the wild emmer. A secondary aim was to determine ...
متن کاملMendel's Accountant: a biologically realistic forward-time population genetics program
Mendel’s Accountant (hereafter referred to as “Mendel”) is a user-friendly biologically realistic simulation program for investigating the processes of mutation and selection in sexually reproducing diploid populations. Mendel represents an advance over previous forward-time programs in that it incorporates several new features that enhance biological realism including: (a) variable mutation ef...
متن کاملQuantifying time-inhomogeneous stochastic introgression processes with hazard rates.
Introgression is the permanent incorporation of genes from one population into another through hybridization and backcrossing. It is currently of particular concern as a possible mechanism for the spread of modified crop genes to wild populations. The hazard rate is the probability per time unit that such an escape takes place, given that it has not happened before. It is a quantitative measure...
متن کاملQuantifying Hybridization in Realistic Time
Recently, numerous practical and theoretical studies in evolutionary biology aim at calculating the extent to which reticulation-for example, horizontal gene transfer, hybridization, or recombination-has influenced the evolution for a set of present-day species. It has been shown that inferring the minimum number of hybridization events that is needed to simultaneously explain the evolutionary ...
