Although sled dogs are one of the most specialized groups of dogs, their origin and
evolution has received much less attention than many other dog groups. We applied a …

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 …

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 domestic dogs is poorly understood [1–15], with suggested evidence of dog-
like features in fossils that predate the Last Glacial Maximum [6, 9, 10, 14, 16] conflicting with …

The origin and evolution of the domestic dog remains a controversial question for the
scientific community, with basic aspects such as the place and date of origin, and the …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

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

Dogs were present in the Americas before the arrival of European colonists, but the origin
and fate of these precontact dogs are largely unknown. We sequenced 71 mitochondrial and …

Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the
population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 y, the genetic signatures …

The evolutionary relationships between extinct and extant lineages provide important insight
into species' response to environmental change. The grey wolf is among the few Holarctic …
