The paper estimates de novo mutation rates in Panthera and Neofelis species using pedigrees, finding rates between 0.5 and 1.4e-08 per generation per base pair.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing of historical and recent lion populations to show population fragmentation and genetic diversity loss in East Africa over the past century.

The paper develops a SNP panel for identifying snow leopard individuals from fecal samples, validated with zoo and field samples, showing high accuracy and utility for population assessment.

This paper develops a SNP selection pipeline, mPCRselect, to design cost-effective SNP panels for population assignment and individual identification in non-model species.

The paper provides genomic resources for Asian and African savannah elephants to aid conservation and health research through genome sequencing, mutation rate estimation, demographic reconstruction, and a capture assay for genotyping.

RatesTools detects de novo germline mutations in pedigree sequence data by analyzing parent-offspring trio data and calculating mutation rates.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for the snow leopard, African leopard, and tiger to support evolutionary and conservation research.

The paper develops a gene-based capture assay to study genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in invasive mosquitoes, showing its effectiveness in analyzing taxonomic clustering and resistance alleles.

This paper develops epigenetic clocks for African and Asian elephants using DNA methylation data to estimate age and identify age-related CpGs and their associated genes.

The paper identifies Salmonella enterica genomes from a 16th-century epidemic cemetery in Mexico, linking them to enteric fever as a cause of population decline.
