This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze gene conversion and crossover events in human, chimpanzee, and gorilla testes and sperm, revealing species-specific patterns and GC bias in gene conversion.

The paper introduces a haplotype-based testing method for detecting selection in population genetics, showing higher power and better understanding of selective signatures compared to allele frequency approaches.

This paper introduces haploSep, a method to infer haplotypes and their frequencies from allele frequency data, improving accuracy and enabling multi-haplotype estimation.
