The first complete genome of the extinct European wild ass (Equus hemionus hydruntinus)
Résumé :
A fruitful collaboration of the Grange/Geigl team with the Compevo team led by Mehmet Somel at METU in Ankara http://compevo.bio.metu.edu.tr/ within the EU-funded H2020 Twining program Neomatrix https://neomatrix.metu.edu.tr/ has led to the genomic characterization of the extinct Eurasiatic wild ass lineage, the so-called Hydruntine (Equus hemionus hydruntinus), allowing its precise phylogenetic placement and the observation of its reduced genetic diversity prior to its extinction. This wild ass was present during the Pleistocene in Europe, expanding up to Anatolia where it stayed during the Holocene before becoming extinct about 2000 years ago.
