Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although 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 …

Patterson's D, also known as the ABBA‐BABA statistic, and related statistics such as the f4‐
ratio, are commonly used to assess evidence of gene flow between populations or closely …

Accurate taxonomy is central to the study of biological diversity, as it provides the needed
evolutionary framework for taxon sampling and interpreting results. While the number of …

Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

The observation that small isolated populations often suffer reduced fitness from inbreeding
depression has guided conservation theory and practice for decades. However …

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

In this study, we analyzed full-length SARS-CoV-2 genomes from multiple countries to
determine early trends in the evolutionary dynamics of the novel COVID-19 pandemic …
