TL;DR: The findings reveal that the first Americans, whether Clovis or earlier groups in unglaciated North America before 12.6 cal. kyr bp, are unlikely to have travelled by this route into the Americas, however, later groups may have used this north–south passageway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental genes and genomes: understanding the differences and challenges in the approaches and software for their analyses
TL;DR: It is argued that an appreciation of the potential and limitations of each method can help underscore the improvements required by each field so as to better exploit the richness of current HTS-based data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic Analysis from the Interior of a Speleothem in Tjuv-Ante's Cave, Northern Sweden.
Marie Lisandra Zepeda Mendoza,Johannes Lundberg,Magnus Ivarsson,Paula F. Campos,Johan A. A. Nylander,Thereese Sallstedt,Love Dalén +6 more
TL;DR: DNA shotgun sequencing metagenomic datasets from the interior of a speleothem from Tjuv-Ante’s cave confirm the abundance of Actinobacteria and fungi as previously reported by microscopic analyses on this cave, however it is found that a larger biodiversity is discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective role of the vulture facial skin and gut microbiomes aid adaptation to scavenging.
Marie Lisandra Zepeda Mendoza,Michael Roggenbuck,Karla Vargas,Karla Vargas,Lars Hestbjerg Hansen,Søren Brunak,Søren Brunak,M. Thomas P. Gilbert,M. Thomas P. Gilbert,Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén,Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén +10 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of complementing genomic analyses with metagenomics in order to obtain a clearer understanding of the host-microbial alliance and show the need of microbiome-mediated health protection for adaptation to extreme diets, such as scavenging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitogenomics of the Extinct Cave Lion, Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810), Resolve its Position within the Panthera Cats
Ross Barnett,Marie Lisandra Zepeda Mendoza,André E. R. Soares,Simon Y. W. Ho,Grant D. Zazula,Nobuyuki Yamaguchi,Beth Shapiro,Irina V. Kirillova,Greger Larson,M. Thomas P. Gilbert +9 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis confirms the placement of the cave lion as the sister taxon to populations of the modern lion ( P. leo), and uses newly recovered stem pantherine fossils to calibrate a molecular clock, highlighting the likely position of this extinct carnivore as a distinct species.
