EASYstrata is a workflow for genome annotation and divergence analysis that detects recombination suppression and its effects, validated on fungal, plant, and animal genomes.

The paper shows that HD mating-type genes have lost function in three Microbotryum species, with PR genes controlling mating compatibility, and reports evolutionary strata from recombination suppression.

This study identifies genetic risk loci for differentiated thyroid cancer in multiethnic populations, finding novel associations and allele frequency differences between Oceanian and European ancestry groups.

The paper identifies extreme selective sweeps on the human X chromosome that displaced Neanderthal admixture around 50,000 years ago, suggesting a population without Neanderthal admixture contributed these haplotypes.
