This study analyzes tandem repeat variation in humans and chimpanzees to identify signatures of selection, revealing roles in neural evolution and adaptive expression.

This study presents a pan-pangenome of humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos, revealing structural variation, selection patterns, and adaptations related to immunity and malaria resistance.

This paper introduces TRAMA, a method to estimate mutation models for tandem repeats using ancestral recombination graphs, showing accurate parameter estimation under SMM and TPM.

py_ped_sim simulates pedigree structures and genomes for family analysis, accurately approximating kinship coefficients in diverse pedigrees.

TRACK is a pipeline for identifying and comparing tandem repeats across species, offering tools for cataloging, filtering, and population genetic analysis.

This paper benchmarks genotyping and imputation methods for degraded DNA in forensic applications across diverse populations, finding that ATLAS outperforms conventional tools and that reference panel diversity improves accuracy.

The paper quantifies DNA mixture analysis accuracy across 244 human groups, finding higher false inclusion rates in groups with lower genetic diversity and more contributors.

The paper finds that CODIS STR markers are located in regions with higher densities of trait-associated variants compared to other STRs.

The paper investigates whether forensic STRs correlate with gene expression levels, finding six significant associations that may compromise medical privacy.

The paper identifies women programmers (APs) in early computational population genetics, finding 43% of APs were women, significantly higher than the 7% of authors, highlighting their unrecognized contributions.

The paper analyzes testis transcriptomes across primates to show convergent evolution linked to mating strategies, finding both tissue composition shifts and cell-autonomous changes.
