The paper presents a population-scale Y chromosome reference panel with 142 assemblies, revealing structural and epigenetic variation across 180,000 years of evolution.

The paper assembles and characterizes 2,110 human centromeres, revealing novel haplotypes, mobile element insertions, and mutation rate variation across chromosomes.

The paper identifies a Denisovan-derived Alu insertion in OCA2 associated with increased pigmentation in Melanesians and demonstrates its functional impact in melanocytes.

The paper presents long-read assemblies of 43 diverse human Y chromosomes, revealing extensive structural complexity and variation across 180,000 years of evolution.

The paper investigates the 3q29 genomic region, identifying novel haplotypes and breakpoint segments associated with deletion and duplication syndromes, and categorizes cases into distinct classes.
