Hernández-Alonso, Germán; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; Sun, Xin; Scharff-Olsen, Camilla Hjorth; Sinding, Mikkel Holger Strander; Martins, Nuno F.; Ciucani, Marta Maria; Mak, Sarah S. T.; Lanigan, Liam Thomas; Clausen, Cecilie G.; Bhak, Jong; Jeon, Sungwon; Kim, Changjae; Eo, Kyung Yeon; Cho, Seong-Ho; Boldgiv, Bazartseren; Gantulga, Gankhuyag; Unudbayasgalan, Zunduibaatar; Kosintsev, Pavel A.; Stenøien, Hans Kristen; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The taxonomic status of the now likely extirpated Korean Peninsula wolf has been extensively debated, with some arguing it represents an independent wolf lineage, Canis coreanus. To investigate the Korean wolf's genetic ... -

Given its long-term isolation on the island and distinctive morphology, the genetic origin of the ... -
Genomic evidence refutes the hypothesis that the Bornean banteng is a distinct species
Sun, Xin; Ciucani, Marta Maria; Rasmussen, Jacob Agerbo; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Sinding, Mikkel Holger Strander (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The banteng (Bos javanicus) is an endangered species within the wild Asian Bos complex, that has traditionally been subdivided into three geographically isolated subspecies based on (i) mainland Southeast Asia (B. j. ... -
Probing the genomic limits of de-extinction in the Christmas Island rat
Lin, Jianqing; Duchêne, David; Carøe, Christian; Smith, Oliver; Ciucani, Marta Maria; Niemann, Jonas; Richmond, Douglas; Greenwood, Alex D.; MacPhee, Ross; Zhang, Guojie; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Three principal methods are under discussion as possible pathways to “true” de-extinction; i.e., back-breeding, cloning, and genetic engineering.1,2 Of these, while the latter approach is most likely to apply to the largest ...
