A key action of the new Global Biodiversity Framework is the maintenance of genetic
diversity in all species to safeguard their adaptive potential. To achieve this goal, a …

Although most ancient DNA studies have focused on the last 50,000 years, paleogenomic
approaches can now reach into the early Pleistocene, an epoch of repeated environmental …

Analyses of ancient DNA typically involve sequencing the surviving short oligonucleotides
and aligning to genome assemblies from related, modern species. Here, we report that skin …

Ancestral Coast Salish societies in the Pacific Northwest kept long-haired “woolly dogs” that
were bred and cared for over millennia. However, the dog wool–weaving tradition declined …

Genomic data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models will start to play an increasingly

A number of species have recently recovered from near-extinction. Although these species
have avoided the immediate extinction threat, their long-term viability remains precarious …

In this study, we report a biological temperature-sensing electrical regulator in the
cytochrome c oxidase of the Devil Worm, Halicephalobus mephisto. This extremophile …

Aegilops longissima and Ae. sharonensis, being classified into the Sitopsis section of genus
Aegilops, are distinct species both taxonomically and ecologically. Nevertheless, earlier …
