Summary: Controlled modification of sequencing data is important for reproducible benchmarking, particularly when evaluating analyses affected by read fragmentation, divergent reference genomes and an...

Jak polowali ludzie w epoce lodowcowej? Najnowsze badania genetyczne setek mamutów przynoszą zaskakującą odpowiedź. W miejscach obozowisk ludzkich przeważają szczątki samic. Ważną rolę w tych wnioskac...

PhD student position in Population Genomics , Department of Organismal Biology, Uppsala University

The Hologenomics Section, Globe Institute, University at Copenhagen, is looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join our team. This position is part of the research project “Back from the Brink: experimental de-extinction in a model-organism to restore lost diversity”, funded under the Villum Experiment Programme. The project explores the potential of gene editing technologies for conservation using an experimental setting, the risks and consequences for the management of genetically vulnerable populations. Duration: one year.

Bowhead whales were nearly wiped out by commercial whaling, but they are now generally recovering. A new study by Westbury et al. examines the impact of whaling on the genetic diversity of the…

Inbreeding depression plays a role in the decline, endangerment, and extinction of small populations, and thus inbreeding has received much attention in conservation biology. The term inbreeding is us...

Effective conservation genomics of endangered species requires realistic understanding of the fitness consequences caused by the accumulation of de...

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