Grey wolf genomic history reveals a dual ancestry of dogs
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 …

Dog domestication and the dual dispersal of people and dogs into the Americas
Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the
population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 y, the genetic signatures …

Deep-time paleogenomics and the limits of DNA survival
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 …

An assessment of current wolf Canis lupus domestication hypotheses based on wolf ecology and behaviour
LD Mech, LAA Janssens - Mammal Review, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The dog was the first domesticated animal. Its derivation from grey wolves Canis lupus is
important to the study of mammalian domestication, and wolf domestication is an active area …

From high masked to high realized genetic load in inbred Scandinavian wolves
L Smeds, H Ellegren - Molecular Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
When new mutations arise at functional sites they are more likely to impair than improve
fitness. If not removed by purifying selection, such deleterious mutations will generate a …

[HTML][HTML] Genome-scale sequencing and analysis of human, wolf, and bison DNA from 25,000-year-old sediment
Cave sediments have been shown to preserve ancient DNA but so far have not yielded the
genome-scale information of skeletal remains. We retrieved and analyzed human and …

Ancient horse genomes reveal the timing and extent of dispersals across the Bering Land Bridge
Abstract The Bering Land Bridge (BLB) last connected Eurasia and North America during
the Late Pleistocene. Although the BLB would have enabled transfers of terrestrial biota in …

Pre-extinction demographic stability and genomic signatures of adaptation in the woolly rhinoceros
Ancient DNA has significantly improved our understanding of the evolution and population
history of extinct megafauna. However, few studies have used complete ancient genomes to …

Ancient divergence of Indian and Tibetan wolves revealed by recombination‐aware phylogenomics
The grey wolf (Canis lupus) expanded its range across Holarctic regions during the late
Pleistocene. Consequently, most grey wolves share recent (< 100,000 years ago) maternal …
