Ancient genomics and the origin, dispersal, and development of domestic sheep
(2025)The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are incompletely understood; to address this we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled from across Eurasia. Genomes from Central ... -
Evolutionary erosion of yeast sex chromosomes by mating-type switching accidents
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011)We investigate yeast sex chromosome evolution by comparing genome sequences from 16 species in the family Saccharomycetaceae, including data from genera Tetrapisispora, Kazachstania, Naumovozyma, and Torulaspora. We show ... -
A history of multiple Denisovan introgression events in modern humans
(2024)The identification of a new hominin group in the Altai mountains called Denisovans was one of the most exciting discoveries in human evolution in the last decade. Unlike Neanderthal remains, the Denisovan fossil record ... -
New genes from non-coding sequence: the role of de novo protein-coding genes in eukaryotic evolutionary innovation
(2015)The origin of novel protein-coding genes de novo was once considered so improbable as to be impossible. In less than a decade, and especially in the last five years, this view has been overturned by extensive evidence from ...
