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.
