Evidence of long-term purging of mutation load in killer whale genomes

A. D. Foote, T. P. Gilbert, S. Gopalakrishnan, M. Louis, M. Martin, P. A. Morin, M. Nykanen, C. Scharff-Olsen, L. A. Excoffier

The paper examines mutation load in killer whale genomes, finding that high latitude populations have fewer non-synonymous mutations, suggesting purging of recessive deleterious mutations.

Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins

M. Louis, M. Galimberti, F. Archer, S. Berrow, A. C. Brownlow, R. Fallon, M. Nykanen, J. O'Brien, K. M. Robertson, P. E. Rosel, B. Simon-Bouhet, D. Wegmann, M. C. Fontaine, A. D. Foote, O. E. Gaggiotti

The paper investigates how selection on ancestral genetic variation drives parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins by analyzing whole genomes of 57 individuals.
