TL;DR

A limited bibliometric analysis of publications on geneticization studies is conducted to examine the changes in research topics and the critical content of the geneticization framework and introduces three new horizons to reconstruct and revise geneticization studies: medical humanities, philosophy of technology, and the ‘gentle genetics’ idea.

The influence of incompatibilities and heterosis on hybrid population genetics

It is found that the strength of overdominance relative to incompatibilities determines the long-term genetic composition of the hybrid population, and the genomic conflict caused by the interplay of overdominance and hybrid incompatibilities, recombination, and parental contributions, shape the genome of an isolated h...
