Genflusses
Genflusses (gene flow) is a process in population genetics that describes the movement of genetic material between populations due to the migration of individuals or the dispersal of gametes, such as pollen. Through these movements, alleles are introduced into new populations and removed from source populations, altering allele frequencies over time.
The primary mechanisms are the migration of individuals between populations and the transport of gametes by
Gene flow tends to homogenize genetic differences among populations by spreading alleles across groups. It can
Common ways to study genflusses include comparing allele frequencies across populations using genetic markers (such as
Applications of understanding genflusses span conservation genetics, management of endangered species, control of invasive species, and
