  2. Red deer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_deer

    Genetic evidence indicates that the red deer, as traditionally defined, is a species group, rather than a single species, though exactly how many species the group includes remains disputed. [3] [4] The ancestor of the red deer probably originated in central Asia. [5]

  3. Gene flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_flow

    Sika deer: Sika deer were introduced into Western Europe, and they reproduce easily with the native red deer. This translocation of Sika deer has led to introgression and there are no longer "pure" red deer in the region, and all can be classified as hybrids.

  4. Genetic monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_monitoring

    In 2007 a Working Group on Genetic Monitoring was launched with joint support from NCEAS [50] and NESCent [51] to further develop the techniques involved and provide general monitoring guidance for policy makers and managers. [52] Currently the topic is covered in several well known text books, including McComb et al. (2010) and Allendorf et al ...

  5. Experiments on Plant Hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_on_Plant...

    Experiments on Plant Hybridization" (German: Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden) is a seminal paper written in 1865 and published in 1866 [1] [2] by Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian friar considered to be the founder of modern genetics. The paper was the result after years spent studying genetic traits in Pisum sativum, the pea plant.

  6. DNA–DNA hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA–DNA_hybridization

    In genomics, DNA–DNA hybridization is a molecular biology technique that measures the degree of genetic similarity between DNA sequences. It is used to determine the genetic distance between two organisms and has been used extensively in phylogeny and taxonomy .

  7. List of genetic hybrids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_hybrids

    This is a list of genetic hybrids which is limited to well documented cases of animals of differing species able to create hybrid offspring which may or may not be infertile. Hybrids should not be confused with genetic chimeras , such as that between sheep and goat known as the geep .

  8. Hybrid (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    A mule is a sterile hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.Mules are smaller than horses but stronger than donkeys, making them useful as pack animals.. In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

  9. Introgression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introgression

    Introgression, also known as introgressive hybridization, in genetics is the transfer of genetic material from one species into the gene pool of another by the repeated backcrossing of an interspecific hybrid with one of its parent species. Introgression is a long-term process, even when artificial; it may take many hybrid generations before ...
