The fifth meeting of the Journal Club (JC) within the PhenoGeno project was held on Thursday, February 20, 2025. The topic of the meeting was the manuscript entitled "Convergent genomic signatures of adaptation in Livestock Guardian Dogs and Gray Wolves" (Shihabi et al.), which builds on the previous paper "Genome-wide Signals of Positive Selection Identified in Livestock Guardian Dogs", presented at the WCGALP 2022 conference. During the meeting, a constructive and interdisciplinary discussion was held, which covered key aspects related to the data used, research methodology, and guidelines for further refinement before publication of the paper.
