Abstract Ensembl (https://www. ensembl. org) has produced high-quality genomic resources
for vertebrates and model organisms for more than twenty years. During that time, our …

Affordable, high-throughput DNA sequencing has accelerated the pace of genome
assembly over the past decade. Genome assemblies from high-throughput, short-read …

Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare.
However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse …

Horses revolutionized human history with fast mobility. However, the timeline between their
domestication and their widespread integration as a means of transport remains …

The horse reference genome from the Thoroughbred mare Twilight has been available for a
decade and, together with advances in genomics technologies, has led to unparalleled …

Polar bears are susceptible to climate warming because of their dependence on sea ice,
which is declining rapidly. We present the first evidence for a genetically distinct and …

Reduced representation sequencing (RRS) is a widely used method to assay the diversity of
genetic loci across the genome of an organism. The dominant class of RRS approaches …

The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi almost invariably establishes life-long infections in
humans and other mammals, despite the development of potent host immune responses …

Gut microbiomes are widely hypothesised to influence host fitness and have been
experimentally shown to affect host health and phenotypes under laboratory conditions …

Effective conservation and management of threatened wildlife populations require an
accurate assessment of age structure to estimate demographic trends and population …
