This study uses low-coverage whole genome sequencing to investigate the genomic basis of derived dwarfism and exudivory in Callithrix marmosets, identifying candidate genes under positive selection.

COATi improves sequence alignment accuracy by handling artifacts in protein-coding sequences, reducing data discarding in comparative genomic studies.

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 reconstructs the demographic history of host switches in honey bee mites using whole-genome sequencing to understand population dynamics and genetic exchange during the transition to a novel host.

This paper introduces a probabilistic model for indel evolution that distinguishes insertions from deletions, showing higher deletion rates and negative correlation with population size in empirical data.

The paper reconstructs the mitogenome phylogeny of Callithrix marmosets, identifies hybridization events, and provides divergence time estimates for species within the genus.

The paper estimates the somatic mutation rate in a long-lived Eucalyptus tree using a novel method, finding it lower per unit of growth compared to Arabidopsis.

accuMUlate is a mutation caller designed for mutation accumulation experiments, providing probabilistic modeling and filtering tools to identify and quantify mutations.

The paper models how host-pathogen dynamics can provide a selective benefit to bacterial transformation, explaining its evolution despite costs.
