The paper uses a massively parallel reporter assay to study the regulatory effects of variant pairs in enhancers, finding non-additive effects and context-dependent interactions.

The paper introduces a method to add new marsupial genomes to existing vertebrate whole-genome alignments, improving phylogenetic coverage for comparative genomic analysis.

The paper investigates the regulatory effects of Neanderthal and Denisovan introgression in Papuan populations using a massively parallel reporter assay, finding differential activity in immune-related genes.

The paper tests regulatory potential of conserved enhancers in thylacine and wolf to assess functional convergence over 160 million years of evolution, finding limited evidence of convergent divergence.

The paper evaluates genetic diversity in chimpanzee transcriptomic data and finds that most samples have Western chimpanzee ancestry, with limited genetic diversity compared to wild populations.
