Distinct traces of mixed ancestry in western commercial pig genomes following gene ow from chinese indigenous breeds

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Genetic material introgressed from sister lineages has often been adaptive in plant and animal evolution (Dowling et_al, 2016; Burgarella et_al, 2019; Janzen et_al, 2019; Cao et_al, 2021). Many genomic segments from local Chinese pigs that contributed to favorable characteristics of Western commercial breeds have been identified (Bosse et_al, 2014; Frantz et_al, 2015; Chen et_al, 2017; Chen et_al, 2020; Wang et_al, 2020), but these records are sporadic, and no systematic survey has been conducted. Although Chinese pigs are highly polymorphic (Amaral et_al, 2008; Frantz A. C. et_al, 2013; Zhao et_al, 2019), they form a close . . .
