Comparison of village dog and wolf genomes highlights the role of the neural crest in dog domestication
Background Domesticated from gray wolves between 10 and 40 kya in Eurasia, dogs
display a vast array of phenotypes that differ from their ancestors, yet mirror other …

Parallel adaptation of rabbit populations to myxoma virus
In the 1950s the myxoma virus was released into European rabbit populations in Australia
and Europe, decimating populations and resulting in the rapid evolution of resistance. We …
