Abstract
En 中文
• Paleogenomes (12.8×, 3.4×) generated from dire wolf specimens (>72,000, ∼13,000 ya) • Nuclear genome reconstruction via iterative mapping reduces reference bias • Dire wolf lineage split from jackals and wolf-like canids 4.5 mya • Dual ancestry model supports admixture in evolution of dire wolves
