Long-term isolation and introgression shape the genomic distinctiveness of Rice's Whale

Diana Aguilar‐Gómez, Jacqueline A. Robinson, Christopher C. Kyriazis, Mallory Kenfield, Sergio F. Nigenda‐Morales, Nicole L. Vollmer, Lynsey A. Wilcox, Bernard Y. Kim, Ryan D. Hernandez, Patricia E. Rosel, Phillip A. Morin, Kirk E. Lohmueller

The paper reconstructs the demographic history of Rice's whale using whole-genome sequences and assesses its genomic health, finding long-term isolation and a recent population collapse increase extinction risk.

The distribution of fitness effects varies phylogenetically across animals

Meixi Lin, Sneha Chakraborty, Carlos Eduardo G. Amorim, Sergio F. Nigenda‐Morales, Annabel C. Beichman, Paulina G. Nuñez-Valencia, Jonathan C. Mah, Jacqueline A. Robinson, Christopher C. Kyriazis, Christian D. Huber, Andrew E. Webb, Sarah D. Kocher, Frederick I. Archer, Andrés Moreno‐Estrada, Robert K. Wayne, Kirk E. Lohmueller

This study examines the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) across eleven animal species, finding that DFE co-varies with phylogeny and that mammals have more deleterious mutations than insects and birds.
