This paper presents the first whole-genome data for the giant forest hog, revealing its evolutionary relationship with warthogs and significant genetic differentiation between populations.

The paper analyzes 1,001 wolf genomes to reveal distinct evolutionary lineages and genetic health issues across Europe, highlighting the need for region-specific conservation strategies.

The paper tracks the emergence and spread of a novel reassortant swine influenza virus in Denmark, highlighting its zoonotic potential and antigenic differences from human viruses.

The paper identifies genetic signatures in influenza A viruses associated with interspecies transmission between swine and humans using phylogenetic analysis and machine learning.

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.

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 analyzes the mitochondrial DNA of Sicilian wolf specimens to determine their genetic identity and relationship to other wolf populations.
