This paper tracks the outbreak of HPAIV H5N1 euBB in black-headed gulls and common terns in Germany, showing multiple incursions, high mortality, and population declines.

The paper uses primate genetic data to predict human variant pathogenicity with a deep learning classifier trained on 4.3 million common missense variants.

This study presents whole-genome data from 233 primate species, revealing patterns of genetic diversity, mutation rates, and recurrent missense mutations across primate clades.

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

This study compares three DNA enrichment methods for ancient pathogen DNA, finding in-solution approaches are most effective and RNA baits outperform DNA baits.

The paper identifies naturally occurring simian Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue strains in African nonhuman primates, showing genomic similarity to human TPE strains.
