I'm excited to share our new preprint, "The recombination landscape of introgression in yeast," lead by Enrique Schwarzkopf w/ Nathan Brandt. This paper combines two of my favorite things - recombination and hybridization! Some findings here 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Recombination plays an important role in the distribution of introgression in the generations following hybridization in lots of species 🦋🌽🐟👩🔬 We use the awesome power of yeast to WGS the meiotic products of two crosses, one with introgression and one without, and call crossovers and non-crossovers
