Evaluation of genome size has been extensively used in different fields. In many studies, it has been employed to test correlation with other parameters such as metabolic rates, longevity and ecological/geographical distribution. Moreove...

Alexis L Sperling, Anthony A Gutierrez, D K Fabian et al.
The dramatic transition to parthenogenetic reproduction is often accompanied by similarly dramatic changes in genome organisation. Genomic changes may precede or succeed the onset of parthenogenesis and may directly or indirectly contrib...

Christopher Husted, Jacob Alonso, Ross Swofford et al.
Genomic tools are increasingly important for conservation and wildlife health surveillance, yet their use is often constrained by limited resources, sample quality, and the need for minimally invasive approaches. Here we show that untarg...

Reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) play key ecological, cultural, and economical roles across Arctic and Subarctic regions. However, genome-wide patterns of genetic diversity and population structure in semi-domesticated reindeer f...

Sonal Singhal, Maggie R Grundler, Danielle Rivera et al.
Most vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The whiptail lizards (Aspidoscelis) are a notable exception; at least 11 of the 45 recognized species are parthenogenetic. Here, we focus on one such species (Aspidoscelis tesselatus) as a case...
