The paper generates genome assemblies for two Aegilops mutica accessions from different climates, identifying extensive structural variation and providing resources for wheat breeding and conservation.

The paper applies a selfing-aware demographic inference method to Hawaiian C. elegans populations, revealing population structure, bottlenecks, and the impact of self-fertilization on demographic estimates.

This study investigates how mitotic gene conversion can purge deleterious mutations in asexual organisms and compares its effectiveness to self-fertilisation.

The paper evaluates a method for inferring the distribution of fitness effects by adding a parameter to account for strongly deleterious mutations, showing it can improve model fit but may introduce biases.

The paper introduces Demes, a standard format for demographic models in population genetics to improve clarity and ease of use in simulations and analysis.
