Generation of SNP datasets for orangutan population genomics using improved red...
Greminger, Maja P; Stölting, Kai N; Nater, Alexander; Goossens, Benoit; Arora, Natasha; Bruggmann, Rémy; Patrignani, Andrea; Nussberger, BeatriceHigh-throughput sequencing has opened up exciting possibilities in population and conservation genetics by enabling the assessment of genetic variation at genome-wide scales. One approach to reduce genome complexity, i.e. investigating only parts of the genome, is reduced-representation library (RRL) sequencing. Like similar approaches, RRL sequencing reduces ascertainment bias due to simultaneous discovery and...
Effective Population Size Dynamics and the Demographic Collapse of Bornean Oran...
Sharma, Reeta; Arora, Natasha; Goossens, Benoit; Nater, Alexander; Morf, Nadja; Salmona, Jordi; Bruford, Michael W.; Van Schaik, Carel P.Bornean orang-utans experienced a major demographic decline and local extirpations during the Pleistocene and Holocene due to climate change, the arrival of modern humans, of farmers and recent commercially-driven habitat loss and fragmentation. The recent loss of habitat and its dramatic fragmentation has affected the patterns of genetic variability and differentiation among the remaining populations and incre...
