​SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

A selection of peer-reviewed scientific publications related to GCCP, authored by our research team.

​​2024
  • 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 ]
    • ​Bredemeyer, K.R., vonHoldt, B.M., Foley, N.M., Childers, I.R., Brzeski, K.E., Murphy, W.J. (2024). The value of hybrid genomes: Building two highly contiguous reference genome assemblies to advance Canis genomic studies. Journal of Heredity, 115(4), 480–486.
