The research uses the genomes of 241 species and can be used to support animal and human health outcomes. Research led by a team of scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences puts to bed the heated scientific debate regarding the history of mammal dive
Researchers from Texas A&M University have used the largest mammalian genomic dataset to track the evolutionary history of mammals, concluding that mammal diversification began before and accelerated after the dinosaur extinction. This study, part of the Zoonomia Project, could significantly impact human medicine and biodiversity conservation by aiding in the identification of genetic disease targets and the understanding of human trait evolution.
Foley’s efforts in the research produced the world’s largest mammalian phylogenetic tree to date. The “mammalian tree of life” maps out the evolution of mammals over more than 100 million years and is crucial to the goals of the Zoonomia Project.Credit: Texas A&M University-Paleogene extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs,” Foley shared.
Murphy and Foley’s research was funded by the National Science Foundation and is one part of the Zoonomia Project led by Elinor Karlsson and Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, of the Broad Institute, which also compares mammal genomes to understand the basis of remarkable phenotypes — the expression of certain genes such as brown vs. blue eyes — and the origins of disease.
