Making sense of genomic islands of differentiation in light of speciation
- J. Wolf, H. Ellegren
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Genetics
- 1 February 2017
As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural populations promise… Expand
Convergent evolution of the genomes of marine mammals
Marine mammals from different mammalian orders share several phenotypic traits adapted to the aquatic environment and therefore represent a classic example of convergent evolution. To investigate… Expand
Widespread evidence for incipient ecological speciation: a meta-analysis of isolation-by-ecology.
- A. B. Shafer, J. Wolf
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 July 2013
Ecologically mediated selection has increasingly become recognised as an important driver of speciation. The correlation between neutral genetic differentiation and environmental or phenotypic… Expand
Genomics and the challenging translation into conservation practice.
- A. B. Shafer, J. Wolf, +42 authors P. Zieliński
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 February 2015
The global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide data can improve… Expand
Bioinformatic processing of RAD-seq data dramatically impacts downstream population genetic inference
- A. B. Shafer, Claire R. Peart, +4 authors J. Wolf
- Biology
- 1 August 2017
1. Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) provides high-resolution population genomic data at low cost, and has become an important component in ecological and evolutionary studies. As… Expand
A field guide to whole-genome sequencing, assembly and annotation
Genome sequencing projects were long confined to biomedical model organisms and required the concerted effort of large consortia. Rapid progress in high‐throughput sequencing technology and the… Expand
Principles of transcriptome analysis and gene expression quantification: an RNA‐seq tutorial
- J. Wolf
- Medicine, Biology
- Molecular ecology resources
- 1 July 2013
Genome‐wide analyses and high‐throughput screening was long reserved for biomedical applications and genetic model organisms. With the rapid development of massively parallel sequencing… Expand
Molecular evolution of genes in avian genomes

- Medicine, Biology
- Genome Biology
- 23 June 2010
BackgroundObtaining a draft genome sequence of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), the second bird genome to be sequenced, provides the necessary resource for whole-genome comparative analysis of… Expand
Galápagos and Californian sea lions are separate species: Genetic analysis of the genus Zalophus and its implications for conservation management
- J. Wolf, D. Tautz, F. Trillmich
- Medicine, Biology
- Frontiers in Zoology
- 15 September 2007
BackgroundAccurate formal taxonomic designations are thought to be of critical importance for the conservation of endangered taxa. The Galápagos sea lion (GSL), being appreciated as a key element of… Expand
Challenges and strategies in transcriptome assembly and differential gene expression quantification. A comprehensive in silico assessment of RNA‐seq experiments
- N. Vijay, J. W. Poelstra, A. Künstner, J. Wolf
