High genetic load without purging in a diverse species-at-risk

Rebecca S. Taylor, Micheline Manseau, Sonesinh Keobouasone, Peng Liu, Gabriela F. Mastromonaco, Kirsten Solmundson, Allicia Kelly, Nicholas Christopher Larter, Mary Gamberg, Helen M. Schwantje, Caeley Thacker, Jean L. Polfus, Leon Andrew, Dave Hervieux, Deborah Simmons, Paul J. Wilson

The paper assesses genetic diversity, inbreeding, and genetic load in caribou populations with varying demographic histories, finding high genetic diversity and load without purging due to rapid population declines.

Genomic islands of heterozygosity maintained across caribou populations despite inbreeding

Kirsten Solmundson, Jeff Bowman, Paul J. Wilson, Rebecca S. Taylor, Rebekah L. Horn, Sonesinh Keobouasone, Micheline Manseau

The paper quantifies runs of homozygosity in caribou populations to assess inbreeding effects and identifies genomic regions maintaining heterozygosity despite inbreeding.
