In the fall of 2003, a two-year-old tiger named Ming, weighing some four hundred pounds, was discovered living in an apartment Harlem, New York. Ming's rescue by NYPD witnessed, recalled, and venerated scores neighbors. The tiger's history ancestry stimulated considerable media interest, investigative sleuthing, forensic genomic analyses. Harlem subspecies makeup, his relationship to putative sibling Cheeky Homestead, Florida, genetic distinctiveness from wild tigers assessed Whole Genome...

Abstract A recent study published in Oryx proposed that the extinct Javan tiger Panthera tigris sondaica may still survive on Island of Java, Indonesia, based mitochondrial DNA analysis a single hair sample collected from location where was reportedly encountered. However, upon reanalysing genetic data presented study, we conclude there is little support for this claim. The sequences putative and museum specimens generated are not cytoplasmic but more likely nuclear pseudogene copies DNA. In...

Abstract A paper recently published in Oryx by Wirdateti et al. (2024) suggests that the extinct Javan tiger may still survive on Island of Java, Indonesia, based mtDNA analysis a single hair collected from claimed encounter site. After carefully re-analyzing data presented (2024), we conclude there is little support for authors’ statements. Importantly, sequences putative and museum specimens generated authors are not cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA but more likely nuclear copies DNA. In...
