Breaking the species barrier: recurrent genomic introgressions from very distant lineages in a ciliate
2026-02-21
Abstract excerpt
The process of speciation, through which two reproductively isolated species emerge from an ancestral population, is often gradual, including a period during which gene flow still occurs, and hence speciation remains reversible. However, if isolation persists, the progressive accumulation of genetic incompatibilities ultimately locks the speciation process, reaching the point where hybrid offspring are inviable or...
