• Evolutionary analysis of the female-specific avianW chromosome 

      Smeds, Linnea; Warmuth, Vera; Bolivar, Paulina; Uebbing, Severin; Burri, Reto; Suh, Alexander; Nater, Alexander; Bures, Stanislav; Garamszegi, Laszlo Z.; Hogner, Silje; Moreno, Juan; Qvarnström, Anna; Ruzic, Milan; Sæther, Stein Are; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Torok, Janos; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The typically repetitive nature of the sex-limited chromosome means that it is often excluded from or poorly covered in genome assemblies, hindering studies of evolutionary and population genomic processes in non-recombining ...
    • Genome sequencing and conservation genomics in the Scandinavian wolverine population 

      Ekblom, Robert; Brechlin, Birte; Persson, Jens; Smeds, Linnea; Johansson, Malin; Magnusson, Jessica; Flagstad, Øystein; Ellegren, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Genetic approaches have proved valuable to the study and conservation of endangered populations, especially for monitoring programs, and there is potential for further developments in this direction by extending analyses ...
    • Whole-genome resequencing of temporally stratified samples reveals substantial loss of haplotype diversity in the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population 

      Viluma, Agnese; Flagstad, Øystein; Åkesson, Mikael; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Ellegren, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Genetic drift can dramatically change allele frequencies in small populations and lead to reduced levels of genetic diversity, including loss of segregating variants. However, there is a shortage of quantitative studies ...
