This paper challenges the use of the D-statistic to infer Neanderthal introgression, showing it instead reflects mutation rate variation across human populations.

The paper examines PRDM9 gene variability in minke whales, identifying novel variants and showing geographic differences in allelic diversity and recombination patterns.

This study compares GWAS and relatedness-based regression for identifying genetic variants associated with brain structure, finding they perform differently based on linkage disequilibrium levels.

The paper tests whether Neanderthal genetic similarity in non-Africans is due to interbreeding or mutation rate changes during the out-of-Africa bottleneck, finding mutation slowdown better explains the data.
