Research overview: complete mitochondrial genomes across the Felidae
OverviewComplete mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced for most cat species, providing a standardized dataset for phylogenetics, phylogeography, and species identification. This overview surveys the assem…
Research overview: host-virus coevolution in felids
OverviewCats are hosts to feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus, and other pathogens whose long association has left marks on both host and viral genomes. This overview surveys how these viruse…
Research overview: loss of sweet-taste perception in felids
OverviewCats are famously indifferent to sweetness, and genetics revealed why: they carry a pseudogenized sweet-taste receptor gene that no longer produces a functional receptor. This overview surveys the dis…
Research overview: mitochondrial DNA in felid phylogenetics
OverviewMitochondrial DNA, with its maternal inheritance, high copy number, and relatively fast evolution, was central to the first molecular phylogenies and phylogeographic studies of cats. This overview sur…
