Karyotype evolution and phylogenetic conflict in Eurasian wild asses illuminated by a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Mongolian wild ass (Equus hemionus hemionus).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution September 18, 2026 Volume 226 108742 doi: 10.1016/j.ympev.2026.108742

Li S, Wuyun B, Wu R, Liu F, Li Y, Zhao G, Wu C, Su J, Gao N, Liu Q, Wang J, Zhang S, Wang J, Buren Q, Xue X, Lu Y, Zhao L, Li X.The evolutionary history and taxonomy of the Eurasian wild ass (Equus hemionus) remain contentious due to limited genomic resources and conflicting phylogenetic signals. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the Mongolian wild ass (E. h. hemionus). The assembly reveals a diploid number of 2n = 52 and identifies a lineage-specific chromosomal fusion homologous to horse chromosomes 8q and 15, which is uniquely shared with E. kiang. By integrating autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosomal data with paleogenomes, we resolved a well-supported phylogeny identifying four ...

Steiner CC, Mitelberg A, Tursi R, Ryder OA.Short divergence times and processes such as incomplete lineage sorting and species hybridization are known to hinder the inference of species-level phylogenies due to the lack of sufficient informative genetic variation or the presence of shared but incongruent polymorphism among taxa. Extant equids (horses, zebras, and asses) are an example of a recently evolved group of mammals with an unresolved phylogeny, despite a large number of molecular studies. Previous surveys have proposed trees with rather poorly supported nodes, and the bias caused by genetic introgression or ancestral polymorphi...
