The evolution of new enzyme function: lessons from xenobiotic metabolizing bacteria versus insecticide-resistant insects.

abstract：:The distribution of Asian ancestry in the genome of Danish Duroc pigs was investigated using whole-genome sequencing data from European wild boars, Danish Duroc, Chinese Meishan and Bamaxiang pigs. Asian haplotypes deriving from Meishan and Bamaxiang occur widely across the genome. Signatures of selection on Asian hap...
