| Abstract | Past hybridization among closely related species can leave traces of genetic variation from endangered or even extinct species in the DNA of present-day animals. This phenomenon, known as ghost introgression, is often overlooked but is a reservoir of preserved genetic variation from endangered or extinct species found in present-day genomes of the related common species. These hidden reservoirs could be essential for conserving adaptive potential in the future. This project re-envisions the cons |
