Abstract

Selection, recombination, and hybrid evolution: Hybridization is an important force in evolution. The effects of hybridization across the whole genome are not understood. Using a fine-scale genetic map, Schumer et al. examined local ancestry in replicate natural hybrid populations of swordtail fish. Each parental species contributes different proportions of genetic material to the genomes of their descendants. Genes from the “minor” (less well-represented) parent occur in regions of the genome that are subject to higher recombination rates and where there are fewer potentially deleterious genes. Neanderthal ancestry in human genomes shows similar patterns. Science , this issue p. 656

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Non-deleterious archaic variants were more likely to be retained in the human gene pool when they could be uncoupled from deleterious archaic variants by recombination.

    “Taken together, these observations indicate that non-deleterious archaic variants were more likely to be retained in the human gene pool when they could be uncoupled from deleterious archaic variants by recombination 25 .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
