Curr Biol 18:592-6. 2008..Assessment of verified subspecies ancestry offers a powerful tool that, if applied to tigers of uncertain background, may considerably increase the number of purebred tigers suitable for conservation management...
- Phylogeography and genetic ancestry of tigers (Panthera tigris)Shu Jin Luo
Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, Maryland, USA
PLoS Biol 2:e442. 2004..These results provide an explicit basis for subspecies recognition and will lead to the improved management and conservation of these recently isolated but distinct geographic populations of tigers...
- Evolutionary analysis of a large mtDNA translocation (numt) into the nuclear genome of the Panthera genus speciesJae Heup Kim
Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center NCI FCRDC, Frederick, MD 21702 1201, USA
Gene 366:292-302. 2006..The tiger cymtDNA shared around 90% sequence identity with the homologous numt sequence, suggesting an origin for the Panthera numt at around 3.5 million years ago, prior to the radiation of the five extant Panthera species...
