Impact of index hopping and bias towards the reference allele on accuracy of genotype calls from low-coverage sequencing

The paper shows that index hopping and reference allele bias have minimal impact on genotype calls from low-coverage sequencing, but pruning low-support haplotypes introduces a significant reference allele bias.

Sequence variability, constraint and selection in the CD163 gene in pigs

The paper analyzes sequence variation, constraint, and selection in the CD163 gene in pigs, finding no knock-out variants and evidence of positive selection but no recent selective sweeps.
