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 extends the stdpopsim simulation framework to include realistic selection models, enabling studies of selection's impact on genetic variation across species.

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 introduces Genome-AC-GAN, a method for generating synthetic genomes tailored to sub-populations, which outperforms existing methods in capturing population structure and improves classification accuracy.

The paper expands the stdpopsim species catalog and improves genome simulations by adding non-crossover recombination and species-specific annotations, making simulations more realistic for non-model organisms.
