Behavioral genetics in dogs has focused on modern breeds, which are isolated subgroups
with distinctive physical and, purportedly, behavioral characteristics. We interrogated breed …

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 …

There are nearly 400 modern domestic dog breeds with a unique histories and genetic
profiles. To track the genetic signatures of breed development, we have assembled the most …

Abstract Background The international Dog10K project aims to sequence and analyze
several thousand canine genomes. Incorporating 20× data from 1987 individuals, including …

The dog was the first domesticated animal but it remains uncertain when the domestication
process began and whether it occurred just once or multiple times across the Northern …

Domesticated plants and animals played crucial roles as models for evolutionary change by
means of natural selection and for establishing the rules of inheritance, originally proposed …

Mobile DNAs, also known as transposons or 'jumping genes', are widespread in nature and
comprise an estimated 45% of the human genome. Transposons are divided into two …

Ever since the pre-molecular era, the birth of new genes with novel functions has been
considered to be a major contributor to adaptive evolutionary innovation. Here, I review the …
