• Evolution of the germline mutation rate across vertebrates 

      Bergeron, Lucie A.; Besenbacher, Søren; Zheng, Jiao; Li, Panyi; Bertelsen, Mads Frost; Quintard, Benoit; Hoffman, Joseph I.; Li, Zhipeng; St. Leger, Judy; Shao, Changwei; Stiller, Josefin; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Schierup, Mikkel H.; Zhang, Guojie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The germline mutation rate determines the pace of genome evolution and is an evolving parameter itself1. However, little is known about what determines its evolution, as most studies of mutation rates have focused on single ...
    • MobiSeq: De novo SNP discovery in model and non-model species through sequencing the flanking region of transposable elements 

      Rey-Iglesia, Alba; Gopalakrishan, Shyam; Carøe, Christian; Alquezar-Planas, David E.; Ahlmann Nielsen, Anne; Röder, Timo; Bruhn Pedersen, Lene; Næsborg-Nielsen, Christina; Sinding, Mikkel Holger Strander; Fredensborg Rath, Martin; Li, Zhipeng; Petersen, Bent; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Bunce, Michael; Mourier, Tobias; Hansen, Anders Johannes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In recent years, the availability of reduced representation library (RRL) methods has catalysed an expansion of genome‐scale studies to characterize both model and non‐model organisms. Most of these methods rely on the use ...
