SUMMARY:Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression
DESCRIPTION:<p> </p><p><a href="http://www.nielsenlab.org/" title="Rasmus Nielsen">Rasmus Nielsen</a><br>Center for Theoretical Evolutionary Genomics, University of California, Berkeley<br> </p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Adaptive introgression is the transfer of beneficial alleles from one species to another through interbreeding.   It is increasingly being recognized as an important process in evolutionary biology.  I will discuss methods and theory relating to the identification of introgression, in particular the length distribution of introgressed fragments and patterns of linkage disequilibrium caused by introgression.  I will also discuss several instances of adaptive introgression in humans, including altitude adaption in Tibet and cold adaption in Greenland. </p><p> </p>
