This study analyzes the genomic diversity of Mycobacterium bovis in Wales using whole-genome sequencing, identifying geographically distinct clusters and SNPs with potential physiological impacts.

This study evaluates how whole-genome sequencing helps identify transmission pairs for M. bovis, a pathogen with slow evolution, by combining genomic data with epidemiological models.

The paper uses whole genome sequences and movement data to infer M. bovis transmission routes between cattle and badgers, finding higher cattle-to-cattle and badger-to-badger transmission rates than between species.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to analyze the population structure and transmission patterns of Mycobacterium bovis in Ethiopia, identifying two distinct introductions of the Eu3 clonal complex from Europe.

This study uses Early Pleistocene dental enamel proteome sequences to resolve the phylogeny of Stephanorhinus, showing it is paraphyletic and requiring systematic revision.

The paper sequenced genomes of birds-of-paradise to identify genomic changes linked to their phenotypic diversity, finding strong selection on coloration, morphology, and sensory systems.
