1.
Novak B, Ryder O, Houck M, Walker K, Russell L, Russell B, et al.
Animals (Basel) . 2025 Mar; 15(5). PMID: 40075896
Cloning from historically cryopreserved cells offers a potential means to restore lost genetic variation or increase the representation of particular lineages within bottlenecked species, provided such biobanked materials are archived...
2.
Yoo D, Rhie A, Hebbar P, Antonacci F, Logsdon G, Solar S, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Aug; PMID: 39131277
We present haplotype-resolved reference genomes and comparative analyses of six ape species, namely: chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan, and siamang. We achieve chromosome-level contiguity with unparalleled sequence accuracy...

Mooney A, Ryder O, Houck M, Staerk J, Conde D, Buckley Y
Zoo Biol . 2023 Jun; 42(6):697-708. PMID: 37283210
Although cryobanking represents a powerful conservation tool, a lack of standardized information on the species represented in global cryobanks, and inconsistent prioritization of species for future sampling, hinder the conservation...

Kliver S, Houck M, Perelman P, Totikov A, Tomarovsky A, Dudchenko O, et al.
J Hered . 2023 May; 114(5):539-548. PMID: 37249392
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) narrowly avoided extinction to become an oft-cited example of the benefits of intensive management, research, and collaboration to save a species through ex situ conservation...

Houck M, Koepfli K, Hains T, Khan R, Charter S, Fronczek J, et al.
Chromosome Res . 2023 Apr; 31(2):13. PMID: 37043058
We report the first chromosome-length genome assemblies for three species in the mammalian order Pholidota: the white-bellied, Chinese, and Sunda pangolins. Surprisingly, we observe extraordinary karyotypic plasticity within this order...

Damas J, Corbo M, Kim J, Turner-Maier J, Farre M, Larkin D, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Sep; 119(40):e2209139119. PMID: 36161960
Decrypting the rearrangements that drive mammalian chromosome evolution is critical to understanding the molecular bases of speciation, adaptation, and disease susceptibility. Using 8 scaffolded and 26 chromosome-scale genome assemblies representing...
7.
Wilder A, Dudchenko O, Curry C, Korody M, Turbek S, Daly M, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2022 Jul; 14(8). PMID: 35894178
High-quality reference genomes are fundamental tools for understanding population history, and can provide estimates of genetic and demographic parameters relevant to the conservation of biodiversity. The federally endangered Pacific pocket...

Chiou K, Janiak M, Schneider-Crease I, Sen S, Ayele F, Chuma I, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2022 Mar; 6(5):630-643. PMID: 35332281
Primates have adapted to numerous environments and lifestyles but very few species are native to high elevations. Here we investigated high-altitude adaptations in the gelada (Theropithecus gelada), a monkey endemic...

Morin P, Archer F, Avila C, Balacco J, Bukhman Y, Chow W, et al.
Mol Ecol Resour . 2020 Oct; 21(4):1008-1020. PMID: 33089966
The vaquita is the most critically endangered marine mammal, with fewer than 19 remaining in the wild. First described in 1958, the vaquita has been in rapid decline for more...

Hassanin A, Houck M, Tshikung D, Kadjo B, Davis H, Ropiquet A
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2018 Aug; 129:96-105. PMID: 30121341
The bushbuck is the most widespread bovid species in Africa. Previous mitochondrial studies have revealed a polyphyletic pattern suggesting the possible existence of two distinct species. To assess this issue,...
