Parameterizing Pantherinae: de novo mutation rate estimates from Panthera and Neofelis pedigrees

The paper estimates de novo mutation rates in Panthera and Neofelis species using pedigrees, finding rates between 0.5 and 1.4e-08 per generation per base pair.

Endangered Przewalski's horse, Equus przewalskii, cloned from historically cryopreserved cells

The paper reports the cloning of two endangered Przewalski's horse stallions from cryopreserved fibroblast cells, marking the first successful production of multiple healthy clones for an endangered species.

Conservation management strategy impacts inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx

The paper examines how different conservation management strategies affect inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx using whole genome sequencing data.

Blue turns to grey - Paleogenomic insights into the evolutionary history and extinction of the blue antelope (Hippotragus leucophaeus)

This study recovers the first draft genomes of the extinct blue antelope, revealing its evolutionary relationships and low genetic diversity, suggesting human impact contributed to its extinction.

Multiple types of genomic variation contribute to adaptive traits in the mustelid subfamily Guloninae

The paper identifies candidate loci associated with adaptive traits in mustelids by analyzing genomic variation across species.

GADMA: Genetic algorithm for inferring demographic history of multiple populations from allele frequency spectrum data

GADMA uses a genetic algorithm to infer demographic history from joint allele frequency spectra, outperforming manual methods and finding multiple local optima.

Cryptic phylogeographic history sheds light on the generation of species diversity in sky-island mountains

This study uses phylogeographic analysis of the long-tailed mole to reveal how complex topography and climate stability in Chinese sky islands drive genetic divergence and species diversification.
