The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Cape buffalo from Addo Elephant National Park, finding a highly divergent mitogenome likely from introgressive hybridization with an extinct species.

The paper uses genetic data to show sex-biased admixture patterns in South Africa due to colonial migration, with European males and Khoe-San females contributing disproportionately to different regions.

This study performs a genome-wide association analysis of host genetic variants and MTBC strain infection in two cohorts, identifying 32 SNPs significantly associated with infection risk in the Ghanaian cohort.

This study conducts a sex-stratified genome-wide association study of tuberculosis, identifying sex-specific genetic interactions and candidate genes.

The paper uses genome-wide data to reveal fine-scale population structure in southern Africa, showing that KhoeSan groups' ancestry is shaped by geography and ecology rather than language or subsistence.
