The genetic changes underlying the initial steps of animal domestication are still poorly
understood. We generated a high-quality reference genome for the rabbit and compared it to …

The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic
sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog …

The origin of the domestic dog from wolves has been established, but the number of
founding events, as well as where and when these occurred, is not known. To address these …

We used molecular markers to study genetic relationships in a diverse collection of 85
domestic dog breeds. Differences among breeds accounted for∼ 30% of genetic variation …

Advances in genome technology have facilitated a new understanding of the historical and
genetic processes crucial to rapid phenotypic evolution under domestication,. To understand …

The domestication of dogs was an important episode in the development of human
civilization. The precise timing and location of this event is debated,,,, and little is known …

A survey of the dog genome sequence (6.22 million sequence reads; 1.5× coverage)
demonstrates the power of sample sequencing for comparative analysis of mammalian …

Even though human and chimpanzee gene sequences are nearly 99% identical, sequence
comparisons can nevertheless be highly informative in identifying biologically important …

Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to
what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that …

Domestication has led to similar changes in morphology and behavior in several animal
species, raising the question whether similarities between different domestication events …
