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.

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.

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.

HAYSTAC provides a Bayesian framework for accurate and efficient species identification in metagenomic data, outperforming existing tools in reducing false positives and handling degraded DNA.
