      Armstrong, Ellie E.; Prost, Stefan; Ertz, Damien; Westberg, Martin; Frisch, Andreas; Bendiksby, Mika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We report here the draft de novo genome assembly, transcriptome assembly, and annotation of the lichen-forming fungus Arthonia radiata (Pers.) Ach., the type species for Arthoniomycetes, a class of lichen-forming, ...
    • 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 ...
    • Pre-extinction demographic stability and genomic signatures of adaptation in the woolly rhinoceros 

      Lord, Edana; Dussex, Nicolas; Kierczak, Marcin; Díez-del-Molino, David; Ryder, Oliver A.; Stanton, David W.

      Ancient DNA has significantly improved our understanding of the evolution and population history of extinct megafauna. However, few studies have used complete ancient genomes to examine species responses to climate change ...
    • The Tetragnatha kauaiensis Genome Sheds Light on the Origins of Genomic Novelty in Spiders 

      Cerca, José; Armstrong, Ellie E.; Vizueta, Joel; Fernández, Rosa; Dimitrov, Dimitar Stefanov; Petersen, Bent; Prost, Stefan; Rozas, Julio; Petrov, Dmitri; Gillespie, Rosemary G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Spiders (Araneae) have a diverse spectrum of morphologies, behaviors, and physiologies. Attempts to understand the genomic-basis of this diversity are often hindered by their large, heterozygous, and AT-rich genomes with ...
