“The polar bear’s recent directional gene flow northward is something new,” study coauthor Elizabeth Peacock of the US Geological Survey said in a statement. “In our analyses that focused on more ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary ...

They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to ... as they provide a lower bound on the timing of migration and the settlement of regions outside of Africa.

For example, this suggests that the major migration out of Africa occurred ... ancestry may have been highly structured during the gene flow event. "Diversification of humans outside of Africa ...

A study by researchers from the University of Adelaide and The Australian National University (ANU) has provided the first genomic evidence of early migration ... in the human genetic history ...

Two major gene flow events emerged from the data ... The medieval forced migration into Yemen would be expected to influence the genomics of the population in very specific ways that seem ...
