From deserts to forests: sequencing of the giant forest hog completes the genomic history of the African Suids

This paper presents the first whole-genome data for the giant forest hog, revealing its evolutionary relationship with warthogs and significant genetic differentiation between populations.

Imputation of ancient canid genomes reveals inbreeding history over the past 10,000 years

This study imputes ancient dog and wolf genomes to analyze inbreeding history over 10,000 years, finding lower inbreeding in ancient populations and associations between low ROH regions and olfaction/immune genes.

The importance of small island populations for the long term survival of endangered large-bodied insular mammals

This study shows that small island populations of anoa and babirusa have higher genetic quality despite lower diversity, suggesting they should be prioritized for conservation over mainland translocations.

Population structure and domestication history of the Javan banteng (Bos javanicus javanicus)

This study generates the first banteng reference genome and analyzes 78 resequenced samples to explore its domestication history and genetic structure.

Reanalysis of sequences of alleged Javan tiger highlights the difficulties in studying big cats and the need for high throughput sequencing.

The paper reanalyses DNA sequences from alleged Javan tiger sightings, finds unreliable results, and emphasizes the need for high-throughput sequencing and reliable databases for big cat conservation.

Genomes of the extinct Sicilian wolf reveal a complex history of isolation and admixture with ancient dogs

The paper analyzes the genomes of Sicilian wolves to reveal their complex history of isolation and admixture with ancient dogs, showing admixture with European dog breeds and signs of inbreeding.
