Joint dog and wolf genealogies reveal the evolution of the canine genome

2026-06-19

Abstract excerpt

Dogs and their closest extant relative, the grey wolf, diverged around 30k years ago, but have since experienced complex histories of gene flow involving other canids, adaptive pressures due to close association with humans, and changing climates. We infer joint genealogies of dogs, grey wolves, and a coyote using available whole genomes to reconstruct the evolutionary forces shaping the dog genome. These genealog...
