Genomic signatures of selection and putative adaptive introgression during the African expansion of the house mouse

2026-08-19

Abstract excerpt

How species adapt to novel environments following biological invasion remains a central question in evolutionary biology. The recent human-mediated expansion of the western house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) across Africa provides an opportunity to investigate the genomic basis of these rapid evolutionary responses. Using whole-genome data from 218 wild mice sampled across Europe and Africa, we combined complem...
