Abstract excerpt
From yeasts to humans, introgressive hybridization significantly influences the evolutionary history of living organisms by introducing new genetic diversity. Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae worldwide exhibit introgressions from the sister species S. paradoxus, despite the average sequence identity between these species being lower than 90%. While S. cerevisiae isolates from the Neotropics are known for their...
