This study investigates inbreeding depression in wild barn owls using whole-genome sequences, showing its presence in growth and adult traits, and identifying genomic regions with significant effects.

This study benchmarks imputation accuracy for low-coverage whole-genome sequencing data with and without a reference panel, showing that large datasets can achieve sufficient accuracy without one.

The paper presents a chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome assembly for the barn owl, resolving microchromosomes and enabling structural variation studies.

PG-SCUnK evaluates pangenome graph representativeness by analyzing single-copy and universal k-mers from source assemblies.

The paper uses long-term genomic data from Swiss barn owls to show that selection on few loci drives rapid phenotypic evolution in response to environmental change.

This study combines family and population data to analyze recombination patterns in the barn owl, revealing sex-specific and chromosomal differences in crossover placement and recombination rates.

The paper identifies two new genomic regions associated with a continuous color polymorphism in European barn owls, explaining most of the color variation along with a known mutation.

This study evaluates how wet and dry protocol parameters in ddRADseq affect loci reconstruction and biological results in two species systems.

BAdabouM is a fast and accurate tool for detecting genomic structural variations with high resolution and improved performance over existing methods.

This study analyzes Y-chromosomal haplotypes in domestic, ancient, and wild goats to reconstruct their population history and phylogeographic patterns.
