This study uses non-invasive fecal samples and chromosome 21 target capture sequencing to analyze bonobo population structure, identifying three subpopulations and river barriers influencing genetic differentiation.

The paper develops three diagnostic tests for Aspergillus fumigatus infection in chickens using methylation markers from serum cell-free DNA and machine learning, achieving high accuracy.

This study analyzes genomic diversity and admixture in zoo giraffes using whole genome sequencing, revealing high admixture and inbreeding in some individuals.

This study generates the first banteng reference genome and analyzes 78 resequenced samples to explore its domestication history and genetic structure.

The paper analyzes the genomes of spider monkeys and northern muriquis to assess genetic diversity, load, and divergence, finding no alignment between genetic diversity and endangerment status, higher genetic load in wild populations, and divergence linked to environmental factors.

This paper identifies three genetically distinct bonobo populations with inferred geographic origins and estimates split times and effective population sizes, highlighting the need for conservation attention to substructure.

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 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.

The paper examines the genetic impact of an Ebola outbreak on a wild gorilla population, finding no change in genetic diversity but identifying six missense mutations potentially linked to survival.

The paper estimates mutation rates in great apes and finds a recent slowdown in the human mutation rate per year compared to other species.
