The chromosome complements (karyotypes) of animals display a great diversity in number
and morphology. Against this background, the genomes of all species are remarkably …

The relatively new field of phylogenomics is beginning to reveal the potential of genomic
data for evolutionary studies. As the cost of whole genome sequencing falls, anticipation of …

This study examines genomic duplications, deletions, and rearrangements that have
happened at scales ranging from a single base to complete chromosomes by comparing the …

This article analyzes mammalian genome rearrangements at higher resolution than has
been published to date. We identify 3171 intervals, covering∼ 92% of the human genome …

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 …

Studying the similarities and differences in genomic interactions between species provides
fertile grounds for determining the evolutionary dynamics underpinning genome function …

Chromosomal data have been underutilized in phylogenetic investigations despite the
obvious potential that cytogenetic studies have to reveal both structural and functional …

Abstract Analysis of molecular data sets has provided new insights into higher‐level
relationships of living Eutheria, including the recognition of Afrotheria as a novel taxon. This …

The past decade has witnessed an explosion of genome sequencing and mapping in
evolutionary diverse species. While full genome sequencing of mammals is rapidly …

Although chromosome rearrangements (CRs) are central to studies of genome evolution,
our understanding of the evolutionary consequences of the early stages of karyotypic …
