PRE-1 Revealed Previous Unknown Introgression Events in Eurasian Boars during the Middle Pleistocene.

ABSTRACT: Introgression events and population admixture occurred among Sus species across the Eurasian mainland in the Middle Pleistocene, which reflects the local adaption of different populations and contributes to evolutionary novelty. Previous findings on these population introgressions were largely based on extensive genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism information, ignoring structural variants (SVs) as an important alternative resource of genetic variations. Here, we profiled the genome-wide SVs and explored the formation of pattern-related SVs, indicating that PRE1-SS is a recently active subfamily that was strongly associated with introgression events in multiple Asian and European pig populations. As reflected by the three different combination haplotypes from two specific patterns an
