Genomics of sable (Martes zibellina) x pine marten (Martes martes) hybridization

This study resequences sable and pine marten genomes to reveal hybridization patterns, fertility, and genetic diversity, identifying candidate genes and divergence timing.

Comparative genomics and phylogenomics of the Mustelinae lineage (Mustelidae, Carnivora)

This study presents the first comprehensive comparative and phylogenomic analysis of the Mustelinae lineage, revealing genome size variation, chromosomal evolution, and demographic responses to climate cycles across ten species.

First mitogenome phylogeny of the sun bear Helarctos malayanus reveals a deep split between Indochinese and Sundaic lineages

The paper presents new mitochondrial genome sequences of sun bears, revealing a deep split between Indochinese and Sundaic lineages and suggesting recent demographic processes reduced mtDNA variation.

Targeted re-sequencing of coding DNA sequences for SNP discovery in non-model species

The paper develops a SNP panel for Eurasian lynx using cross-species hybridization capture and validates it for population genetics.
