The paper sequenced the genome of an extinct Sardinian dhole to determine its evolutionary history and phylogenetic position, finding it diverged from Asian dholes and experienced gene flow before isolation.

The paper examines the genetic impact of an Ebola outbreak on a wild gorilla population, finding no change in genetic diversity but identifying six missense mutations potentially linked to survival.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet of non-haemadipsid leeches and assess their potential for vertebrate and invertebrate monitoring through iDNA.

The paper detects and identifies known and novel mammalian viruses from environmental DNA and invertebrate-derived DNA using hybridization capture and sequencing.

This paper presents the first genome assembly and pangenome of Neonectria neomacrospora, revealing genetic diversity and functional features related to its plant pathogenic lifestyle.

The paper introduces a machine learning method for detecting prophages in bacterial genomes, finding more phages than existing tools while being faster.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze the population genetics of Neonectria neomacrospora, revealing clade divergence and gene flow patterns in Europe.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from the Viking Age to understand genetic structure and migration patterns, finding significant foreign gene flow and population differentiation.

The paper sequences a 5,700-year-old human genome and oral microbiome from Stone Age chewing gum, revealing genetic and microbial insights.

The paper generates a genome from a historical European Plasmodium vivax strain, revealing its evolutionary relationship to American strains and the presence of drug resistance variants predating their use.

The paper uses ancient DNA analysis of 20 individuals from St Helena to determine the genetic origins of liberated Africans, finding they came from West Central Africa and were culturally diverse.

The paper sequences ancient RNA from permafrost-preserved tissues and historical canids, showing that RNA can survive for over 14,000 years and retain tissue-specific features.

MobiSeq is a reduced representation library protocol that discovers SNPs in model and non-model species by sequencing flanking regions of transposable elements.

The paper updates the rock pigeon genome assembly and annotation, improving tools for evolutionary and functional genetic studies.

The paper analyzes genomic data from passenger pigeons and their relatives to show that natural selection reduced neutral genetic diversity despite large population size, challenging previous extinction theories.
