The paper uses whole-genome analyses to challenge the two-domestication model of cattle, showing zebu originated from admixture between taurine cattle and Indian aurochs with introgression from gaur-like or banteng-like populations.

This study uses palaeogenomes to reassess dingo ancestry, revealing consistent genetic admixture patterns and population structure over two millennia.

This study analyzes 68 ancient Portuguese genomes over 5,000 years, revealing migration patterns and genetic continuity, with influences from local, African, and Mediterranean populations.

The paper identifies regions of the human genome under cellular constraint by analyzing chromatin accessibility across cell types, showing their predictive power for functional loci and applications in variant identification and drug discovery.

The paper shows that admixture in modern European genomes has masked over 50 historic hard sweeps, suggesting underappreciation of historical selection in human evolution.

The paper introduces a new VCF format that allows simultaneous representation of genomic variants against two reference genomes, improving coordinate translation accuracy and reducing data storage burden.

The paper compares a recommended BWA-mem parameterisation for ancient DNA with other aligners using benchmark metrics from a prior study.
