The signaling component of the mammalian Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family is
comprised of eighteen secreted proteins that interact with four signaling tyrosine kinase FGF …

The growing knowledge about the influence of transposable elements (TE s) on (a) long‐

Behavioral genetics in dogs has focused on modern breeds, which are isolated subgroups
with distinctive physical and, purportedly, behavioral characteristics. We interrogated breed …

Abstract Background The international Dog10K project aims to sequence and analyze
several thousand canine genomes. Incorporating 20× data from 1987 individuals, including …

The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic
sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog …

There are nearly 400 modern domestic dog breeds with a unique histories and genetic
profiles. To track the genetic signatures of breed development, we have assembled the most …

The dog was the first domesticated animal but it remains uncertain when the domestication
process began and whether it occurred just once or multiple times across the Northern …

Mobile DNAs, also known as transposons or 'jum** genes', are widespread in nature and
comprise an estimated 45% of the human genome. Transposons are divided into two …

Transposable elements (TEs) or “jum** genes” historically have been disparaged as a
class of “junk DNA” in mammalian genomes (1, 2). The advent of whole genome DNA …

Ever since the pre-molecular era, the birth of new genes with novel functions has been
considered to be a major contributor to adaptive evolutionary innovation. Here, I review the …
