The paper analyzes the genetic diversity and population structure of US marmosets, revealing pre-colony population structure and generating a pedigree-based recombination map.

The paper analyzes a Mexican FH cohort to show rare and common alleles in FH genes and a novel locus contribute to disease risk, with replication in UK Biobank.

This study evaluates polygenic risk score (PRS) performance across four ancestry groups for 14 diseases, finding that ancestry-specific PRS models improve accuracy and identifying cross-trait interactions.

The paper identifies diet-responsive eQTLs in baboons exposed to high cholesterol and fat diets, showing their relevance to human metabolic GWAS genes.

This study identifies genomic and karyotypic changes in geladas that may contribute to high-altitude adaptation and speciation.

This study estimates crossover and noncrossover recombination in olive baboons using whole-genome sequence data from pedigrees and compares results to LD-based estimates.

This paper presents a de novo genome assembly of the olive baboon using long-read and Hi-C data, significantly improving contig size and chromosome scaffolding compared to the previous reference genome.

The paper characterizes the genetic structure of South Asian populations, identifies founder effects and high homozygosity, and develops a custom SNP array for genetic studies in the region.

The paper assesses the quality of the 1000 Genomes Project data by comparing phased haplotypes with experimental data and finds that rare variant phasing and imputation are unreliable due to limited sample size.

The paper analyzes 100 high-coverage genomes from a captive baboon colony to catalog genetic variation, study ancestry, correct colony records, and investigate inbreeding effects.

The paper analyzes whole-genome data from barred and spotted owls to assess introgression, finding no evidence of widespread hybridization despite observed plumage traits suggesting admixture.

The paper uses whole-genome sequences of spotted owls to show long-term population declines and isolation-by-distance patterns in California, with no genetic differentiation between northern subspecies.

This study uses whole genome sequences from gorillas to infer demographic history and selective sweeps, finding population expansions and contractions and signatures of positive selection in specific biological processes.
