Genome-wide coancestry reveals details of ancient and recent male-driven reticulation in baboons

Genomic data from 225 baboons reveal novel inter-species gene flow sites and local admixture effects across different lineages.

Ghost admixture in eastern gorillas

The paper identifies archaic admixture in eastern gorillas using whole genome sequences and ABC with neural networks, finding introgression from a ghost lineage into their common ancestor.

HuConTest: Testing human contamination in great ape samples

HuConTest detects human contamination in short read sequencing data from great apes using blood and tissue samples, showing its utility in complex samples with low endogenous DNA.

Fine-grained temporal mapping of derived high-frequency variants supports the mosaic nature of the evolution of Homo sapiens

The paper temporally maps high-frequency variants in Homo sapiens to support a mosaic evolutionary model, finding bimodal distributions and time-specific gene enrichments.

Epigenomic profiling of primate LCLs reveals the evolutionary patterns of epigenetic activities in gene regulatory architectures

The paper profiles epigenomic features in primate LCLs to reveal evolutionary patterns of epigenetic activity in gene regulation.

A catalog of single nucleotide changes distinguishing modern humans from archaic hominins

The paper identifies 571 genes with non-synonymous changes at high frequency in modern humans, suggesting they may contribute to uniquely human traits.
