Understanding the genomic landscape of the wolf (Canis lupus) is essential for deciphering its complex evolutionary history and informing conservation efforts. This seminar explores the bioinformatic journey from raw sequencing data to high-confidence variant calls using a dataset of 280 wolf genomes sampled across the species’ distribution. I will discuss the difficulties encountered during the variant detection pipeline, and summarize the results of a basic population genetic analysis conducted using the obtained single nucleotide polymorphisms. Finally, I will present a short comparative analysis of these variants against an existing dataset.
