Historic and modern genomes unveil a domestic introgression gradient in a wild red junglefowl population
Abstract The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the ancestor of the domestic chicken and arguably the most important bird species on Earth. Continual gene flow between domestic and wild populations has compromised its gene pool, especially since the last century when human encroachment and habitat loss...
