This study uses genomic data from ancient and present-day individuals to trace the 4,000-year demographic history of Bantu speakers in the Congo rainforest, revealing early dispersals and a population crisis.

The paper presents an eDNA workflow integrating metabarcoding and real-time analysis to improve biodiversity monitoring by overcoming limitations in sensitivity, taxonomic range, and processing time.

This study uses non-invasive fecal samples and chromosome 21 target capture sequencing to analyze bonobo population structure, identifying three subpopulations and river barriers influencing genetic differentiation.

This study uses non-invasive genomic sampling to analyze genetic diversity in wild gorillas, revealing population clusters and migration patterns, and predicts geographic origins with high accuracy.

This study presents the first whole-genome sequencing of Sudanese populations, revealing complex admixture history and adaptive genetic variants related to malaria resistance in Sudanese Copts.

The paper characterizes recent nuclear mitochondrial insertions (NumtS) in primate genomes, showing higher prevalence and rates in chimpanzees compared to other great apes.

The paper analyzes structural variation in 911 human samples from 54 populations, identifying novel variants and introgressed elements, and highlights the need for diverse high-quality genomes.

This study analyzes ancient and modern genomes from the Levant to trace genetic continuity and admixture over five millennia, finding Canaanite-related ancestry and later Eurasian influences.
