Acceleration
The wild boar species complex, including domestic pigs, wild boars, and feral populations, represents one of the most evolutionarily successful mammalian lineages across Eurasia. Its broad geographic distribution, ecological flexibility, high reproductive capacity, and strong adaptability have enabled pigs to thrive in both natural and human-managed environments. What genetic mechanisms underlie this exceptional evolutionary success remains an important question. By comparing pig genomes with those of dozens of other mammals, we aim to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with accelerated evolution, thereby helping to uncover the genetic basis of the unique adaptive advantages of pigs. Below, we present the corresponding genomic intervals and functional annotations compiled for this module.
