      Díez-del-Molino, David; Dehasque, Marianne; Chacón-Duque, J. Camilo; Pečnerová, Patrícia; Tikhonov, Alexei; Protopopov, Albert; Plotnikov, Valeri; Kanellidou, Foteini; Nikolskiy, Pavel; Mortensen, Peter; Danilov, Gleb K.; Vartanyan, Sergey; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Lister, Adrian M.; Heintzman, Peter D.; van der Valk, Tom; Dalén, Love (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ancient genomes provide a tool to investigate the genetic basis of adaptations in extinct organisms. However, the identification of species-specific fixed genetic variants requires the analysis of genomes from multiple ...
