Derek Mooney and guests explore the natural world in all its forms.

The domestic goat likely first arrived to the island of Ireland as part of the introduction of agriculture approximately 5900 years ago, and remains a…

Study shows distinct breed has genetic links to goats that lived in Ireland 3,000 years ago

Advances in ancient DNA research have expanded the range of materials from which genetic information can be recovered, enabling the analysis of atypical materials. These often preserve both host and e...

The multi-millennia-long history between dogs and humans has placed them at the forefront of archaeological and genomic research. Despite ongoing e...

Abstract. Despite transformative advances in genomic technologies, missing data remains a fundamental constraint that limits the full potential of genomic

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica is an extremely diverse bacterial pathogen causing frequent infections and foodborne disease among human populations. More than 1500 different bacterial strains (se...

The Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a post doc position to work on population genomic analyses in water buffal

STAR Protocols is an open access, peer-reviewed journal from Cell Press. We offer structured, transparent, accessible, and repeatable step-by-step experimental and computational protocols from all are...

Goats were among the earliest managed animals, making them a natural model to explore the genetic consequences of domestication. However, a challenge in ancient genomic analysis is the relatively low ...

SPAAM, HAAM, LAARD, PAASTA, and AaRC are trying to understand if and how they are helping researchers deal with the challenges in their research fields. We aim to use this information to help guide an...
