The genetic foundations of convergent traits Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 02 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-00933-7Convergent phenotypic evolution, the independent acquisition of similar or nearly identical traits in multiple species, is widespread. Allard and Kumar explore the spectrum of molecular convergence in multicellular organisms, evaluate computational and artificial intelligence-based methods for detecting adaptive genetic convergence, and highlight how comparative genomics of convergent phenotypes informs complex trait evolution and human health. http://dlvr.it/TQjVkn
