- Ghost wolves earn the cover of the Journal of Heredity to help illustrate their value in scientific research. Drs. Bridgett vonHoldt and Kristin Brzeski, along with coauthors, have now published a de novo genome assembly of a coyote! This will help bolster genomic research on coyote and wolves of all kinds. [see Journal of Heredity Special Issue, Vol 114, No 4 ]
