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

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.

The paper analyzes introgression and selection patterns in symbiosis genes within Rhizobium leguminosarum isolates, finding limited introgression confined to plasmids and chromosomal islands.

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.
