Natural and human-driven selection of a single non-coding body size variant in ancient and modern canids

Jocelyn Plassais et al.

Summary: Domestic dogs display a 40-fold size difference between breeds, with body size being regulated by multiple genes. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is the main regulator, controlling approximately 15% of the body size variation. By analyzing genome sequences from different species, researchers identified a variant in an antisense long non-coding RNA (IGF1-AS) that interacts with the IGF1 gene, resulting in the dominance of derived mutation in modern wolves and large domestic breeds.

Paleogenomics reveals independent and hybrid origins of two morphologically distinct wolf lineages endemic to Japan

Takahiro Segawa et al.

Summary: This study reveals the genetic origin of Japanese wolves by analyzing ancient DNA. The findings show that the Pleistocene wolf was not a subspecies of the Japanese wolf, but belonged to an earlier-diverging lineage, while the Holocene Japanese wolf was a mixture of the Japanese Pleistocene wolf and continental wolf lineages.

Demography and evolutionary history of grey wolf populations around the Bering Strait

Carolina Pacheco et al.

Summary: Research reveals that modern grey wolves trace their origin to the Late Pleistocene Beringian population, with wolves from Far East and North America having a common ancestry before 34400 years ago. Coastal and inland North American populations diverged around 16000 years ago, consistent with the proposed ecological viability of the migration route. Historical effective population sizes of Far East and North American inland populations are larger than coastal populations, possibly due to the influence of broadscale climatic changes.

Grey wolf genomic history reveals a dual ancestry of dogs

Anders Bergstrom et al.

Summary: This article analyzes ancient wolf genomes and finds that wolf populations were highly connected in the late Pleistocene, suggesting a complex history of wolf domestication. Dogs are overall more closely related to ancient wolves from eastern Eurasia, but dogs in the Near East and Africa derive up to half of their ancestry from a distinct population related to modern southwest Eurasian wolves.

Genomes of Pleistocene Siberian Wolves Uncover Multiple Extinct Wolf Lineages

Jazmin Ramos-Madrigal et al.

Summary: The extant genetic diversity of Canis lupus can be grouped into three distinct clades: Eurasian wolves, American wolves, and domestic dogs. Genetic studies suggest that these groups trace their origins back to a wolf population that expanded during the last glacial maximum and replaced local wolf populations. Ancient genomes from Siberia provide evidence of at least one extinct wolf lineage. Previous studies on Pleistocene Siberian canids have shown two morphological groups, but it is unknown if this classification represents distinct genetic groups. Resequencing of genomes from four Pleistocene canids in Northeast Siberia shows they are genetically more similar to Eurasian wolves, branching off the lineage that gave rise to present-day wolves and dogs. The two previously described morphological groups could represent independent lineages similarly related to present-day wolves and dogs.

Evolutionary history of the extinct Sardinian dhole

Marta Maria Ciucani et al.

Summary: The Sardinian dhole was an iconic and unique canid species that became extinct at the end of the Late Pleistocene. Genome sequencing revealed that it represents a separate taxon from all other living canids and its lineage diverged from the Asian dhole approximately 885 ka. Historical gene flow between the Sardinian and Asian dhole lineages was detected, which ended around 500-300 ka.

Extended survival of Pleistocene Siberian wolves into the early 20th century on the island of Honshu

Jonas Niemann et al.

Summary: The Honshu wolf, a distinct grey wolf subspecies endemic to islands in Japan, was revered as a guardian but persecuted and driven to extinction in the early 20th century due to a rabies epidemic. Research showed a close relationship between the Honshu wolf and a lineage of Siberian wolves, with significant gene flow between Japanese dogs and the Honshu wolf.

Fast two-stage phasing of large-scale sequence data

Brian L. Browning et al.

Summary: Haplotype phasing method presented in this study efficiently estimates haplotypes from genotype data using marker windowing and composite reference haplotypes. It employs a progressive phasing algorithm and two-stage phasing algorithm for high-frequency and low-frequency markers respectively. Performance comparison shows that Beagle 5.2 is over 20 times faster than SHAPEIT for TOPMed sequence data, while achieving similar accuracy and scalability for larger sample sizes.

Modern Siberian dog ancestry was shaped by several thousand years of Eurasian-wide trade and human dispersal

Tatiana R. Feuerborn et al.

Summary: Dogs have been essential to life in the Siberian Arctic for over 9,500 years, with evidence of genetic admixture from other regions such as the Eurasian Steppe and Europe. Archaeological findings suggest that Northwest Siberian communities were connected to a larger trade network through which they acquired genetically distinctive dogs from other regions, indicating significant societal changes over time.
