“The panel had a difficult time choosing a single top paper, as the strongest candidates differed markedly in subject and approaches. One article emphasizes genomics of rotifers, and the other the conservation genetics of Sumatran orangutans. The rotifer paper was refreshingly different from approaches taken by the other papers, examined an interesting evolutionary problem, and featured impressive methodology, including 454 sequencing of 2 genomes and rtPCR experiments for gene expression. The orangutan paper was nicely written and included comprehensive molecular ecology data across the full range of an endangered ape. It illustrated the insights possible by the integration of genetic and behavioral data of critically endangered, long-lived species.”
