The genetic consequences of historic climate change on the contemporary population structure of a widespread temperate North American songbird

A. Cloutier, D. T. C. Chan, E. S. K. Poon, S. Y. W. Sin

This study uses whole-genome resequencing to show that historic climate change shaped the population structure of American goldfinches, revealing genetic divergence and bottlenecks linked to glacial periods.

Olfactory receptor subgenome and expression in a highly olfactory procellariiform seabird

S. Y. W. Sin, A. Cloutier, G. Nevitt, S. V. Edwards

This study characterizes the olfactory receptor subgenome and expression in Leachs storm petrels, identifying a large number of intact OR genes and differential expression patterns.

First nuclear genome assembly of an extinct moa species, the little bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis)

A. Cloutier, T. B. Sackton, P. Grayson, S. V. Edwards, A. J. Baker

The paper uses high-throughput sequencing to assemble the first nuclear genome of the extinct little bush moa and identifies polymorphic microsatellites and candidate genes related to limb development.

Whole-genome analyses resolve the phylogeny of flightless birds (Palaeognathae) in the presence of an empirical anomaly zone

A. Cloutier, T. B. Sackton, P. Grayson, M. Clamp, A. J. Baker, S. V. Edwards

The paper uses whole-genome data to resolve the phylogeny of flightless birds, finding a resolved topology with rheas as sister to kiwi and emu + cassowary, but also identifies an empirical anomaly zone due to incomplete lineage sorting.

Convergent regulatory evolution and the origin of flightlessness in palaeognathous birds

T. B. Sackton, P. Grayson, A. Cloutier, Z. Hu, J. S. Liu, N. E. Wheeler, P. P. Gardner, J. A. Clarke, A. J. Baker, M. Clamp, S. V. Edwards

This study shows that convergent flightlessness in palaeognathous birds is associated with regulatory changes rather than protein-coding gene evolution.

Conserved Non-exonic Elements: A Novel Class of Marker for Phylogenomics

S. V. Edwards, A. Cloutier, A. J. Baker

The paper introduces conserved non-exonic elements (CNEEs) as a new phylogenomic marker, finding they offer better alignment quality and fewer gaps compared to ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and introns.

Pervasive correlated evolution in gene expression shapes cell type transcriptomes

C. Liang, J. M. Musser, A. Cloutier, R. Prum, G. Wagner

This study develops a model to measure correlated transcriptome evolution across tissues and finds that related tissues show higher levels of correlated gene expression evolution.
