This study identifies Neanderthal-derived adaptive variation in Tibetans, showing functional convergence in immune and metabolic pathways, beyond the well-known EPAS1 locus.

The paper presents 320 nearly-complete East Asian genome assemblies, revealing new genetic diversity and structural variations not present in existing global pangenomes.

The paper identifies novel structural variants and archaic introgressions in Tibetan genomes linked to high-altitude adaptation.

This paper presents a near-complete lamprey genome assembly, revealing gene family expansions and regulatory elements linked to vertebrate innovations.
