    Mitogenomic phylogeny of Callithrix with special focus on human transferred taxa

    Callithrix marmosets are a relatively young primate radiation, whose phylogeny is not yet fully resolved. These primates are naturally para- and allopatric, but three species with highly invasive potential have b...

    In-solution Y-chromosome capture-enrichment on ancient DNA libraries

    As most ancient biological samples have low levels of endogenous DNA, it is advantageous to enrich for specific genomic regions prior to sequencing. One approach—in-solution capture-enrichment—retrieves sequen...

    A composite genome approach to identify phylogenetically informative data from next-generation sequencing

    Improvements in sequencing technology now allow easy acquisition of large datasets; however, analyzing these data for phylogenetics can be challenging. We have developed a novel method to rapidly obtain homolo...
