Genomic introgression through interspecific hybridization counteracts genetic bottleneck during soybean domestication

Abstract Background Evidence of introgression, the transfer of genetic material, between crops and their wild relatives through spontaneous hybridization and subsequent backcrossing has been documented; however, the evolutionary patterns and consequences of introgression and its influence on the pro...
