Ancient and modern genomes unravel the evolutionary history of the rhinoceros family
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Only five species of the once-diverse Rhinocerotidae remain, making the reconstruction of their evolutionary history a challenge to biologists since Darwin. We sequenced genomes from five rhinoceros species (three extinct ... -
The genetic history of Scandinavia from the Roman Iron Age to the present
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We investigate a 2,000-year genetic transect through Scandinavia spanning the Iron Age to the present, based on 48 new and 249 published ancient genomes and genotypes from 16,638 modern individuals. We find regional variation ... -
Temporal dynamics of woolly mammoth genome erosion prior to extinction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)A number of species have recently recovered from near-extinction. Although these species have avoided the immediate extinction threat, their long-term viability remains precarious due to the potential genetic consequences ... -
Three-dimensional genome architecture persists in a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth skin sample
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Analyses of ancient DNA typically involve sequencing the surviving short oligonucleotides and aligning to genome assemblies from related, modern species. Here, we report that skin from a female woolly mammoth (†Mammuthus ...
