Deep genetic substructure within bonobos

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.

precisionFDA Truth Challenge V2: Calling variants from short- and long-reads in difficult-to-map regions

The paper evaluates variant calling in difficult genomic regions using short- and long-read sequencing, showing improved performance with new methods and multi-technology approaches.

Phenotype loss is associated with widespread divergence of the gene regulatory landscape in evolution

The paper shows that loss of morphological traits in snakes and subterranean mammals is linked to widespread divergence of regulatory elements associated with those traits.
