• Ecology, Not Host Phylogeny, Shapes the Oral Microbiome in Closely Related Species 

      Maraitou, Markella; Forsythe, Adrian; Fellows Yates, James A.; Brealey, Jaelle; Warinner, Christina; Guschanski, Katerina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Host-associated microbiomes are essential for a multitude of biological processes. Placed at the contact zone between external and internal environments, the little-studied oral microbiome has important roles in host ...
    • Genomic insights into the conservation status of the world’s last remaining Sumatran rhinoceros populations 

      von Seth, Johanna; Dussex, Nicolas; Díez-del-Molino, David; van der Valk, Tom; Kutschera, Verena E.; Kierczak, Marcin; Steiner, Cynthia C.; Liu, Shanlin; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Prost, Stefan; Guschanski, Katerina; Nathan, Senthilvel K. S. S.; Brace, Selina; Chan, Yvonne L.; Wheat, Christopher W.; Skoglund, Pontus; Ryder, Oliver A.; Goossens, Benoit; Götherström, Anders; Dalén, Love (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Small populations are often exposed to high inbreeding and mutational load that can increase the risk of extinction. The Sumatran rhinoceros was widespread in Southeast Asia, but is now restricted to small and isolated ...
    • Inference of natural selection from ancient DNA 

      Dehasque, Marianne; Ávila-Arcos, María C; Díez-del-Molino, David; Fumagalli, Matteo; Guschanski, Katerina; Lorenzen, Eline D.; Malaspinas, Anna-Sapfo; Marques-Bonet, Tomas; Martin, Michael David; Murray, Gemma G.R.; Papadopulos, Alexander; Therkildsen, Nina Overgaard; Wegmann, Daniel; Dalén, Love; Foote, Andrew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Evolutionary processes, including selection, can be indirectly inferred based on patterns of genomic variation among contemporary populations or species. However, this often requires unrealistic assumptions of ancestral ...
