This paper presents the first de novo genome assembly of Poecilozonites bermudensis, confirming an ancestral genome duplication in land snails and supporting evolutionary hypotheses.

This study uses low-coverage whole genome sequencing to investigate the genomic basis of derived dwarfism and exudivory in Callithrix marmosets, identifying candidate genes under positive selection.

This study shows that geography, not culture, mainly influences genetic variation among northern Kenyan populations.

The paper reconstructs the mitogenome phylogeny of Callithrix marmosets, identifies hybridization events, and provides divergence time estimates for species within the genus.

This study examines DNA methylation patterns in baboon skeletal tissues to understand their evolutionary relationship with osteoarthritis, finding conserved and divergent epigenetic features compared to humans.

This study evaluates DNA quality from urine and other sources in wild chimpanzees, finding urine provides higher DNA quantity and quality for genomic analysis.

This study develops a population genetics model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to infer evolutionary parameters within hosts, revealing faster mutation rates and skewed progeny distribution compared to standard models.

This study investigates DNA methylation in skeletal tissues of nonhuman primates to explore its association with femur morphology and species-specific traits.

The paper identifies extensive methylation changes in genes related to facial and vocal anatomy in modern humans compared to ancient humans and chimpanzees.

This study uses ancient DNA to reconstruct the genetic legacies of pre-contact Puerto Rico communities, finding Native American mtDNA haplogroups and shared ancestry with the Bahamas.

This study applies Y-chromosome capture-enrichment to ancient DNA libraries, showing increased recovery of Y-DNA sequences and enabling haplogroup assignment.

This study compares two DNA extraction methods for ancient samples from tropical environments, finding Method D better for fragmented DNA recovery.

This study assesses DNA methylation patterns in baboon bone and cartilage to identify associations with osteoarthritis and evaluate evolutionary conservation.
