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.

Extensive population structure highlights an apparent paradox of stasis in the impala (Aepyceros melampus)

This study sequenced impala genomes to investigate evolutionary stasis, finding genetic structure and reduced natural selection in eastern populations compared to southern African ones.

Near-chromosomal de novo assembly of Bengal tiger genome reveals genetic hallmarks of apex-predation

The paper presents high-quality near-chromosomal genome assemblies of Indian tigers and identifies genetic features related to their apex-predator traits and conservation.

Recent evolutionary history of tigers highlights contrasting roles of genetic drift and selection

This study analyzes tiger genomes to understand their evolutionary history, finding genetic differentiation, recent divergence, and selection pressures in different subspecies.

Is shed hair the most effective non-invasive resource for estimating wild pedigrees?

The paper shows that shed hair samples provide sufficient DNA quality and quantity for genome-wide SNP analysis and reliable pedigree reconstruction in wild tigers.
