Untangling the hybrid nature of modern pig genomes: a mosaic derived from biogeographically distinct and highly divergent Sus scrofa populations.
Bosse M, Megens HJ, Madsen O, Frantz LA, Paudel Y, Crooijmans RP, Groenen MA. Bosse M, et al. Mol Ecol. 2014 Aug;23(16):4089-102. doi: 10.1111/mec.12807. Epub 2014 Jun 16. Mol Ecol. 2014. PMID: 24863459 Free PMC article.
Individuals with such hybrid origins contain genomes that essentially form a mosaic of different histories and demographies. Pigs are an excellent model species to study hybridization because European and Asian wild boars diverged ~1.2 Mya, and pigs were domestic …
