This study shows gene deletion in Drosophila preferentially removes functionally unique, younger duplicates rather than degenerate ones, suggesting an adaptive role in genome streamlining.

This study analyzes genomic and metagenomic data from 17th-century colonial Brazil remains to determine ancestry and potential causes of death, finding European genetic links and evidence of infectious diseases.

This paper introduces PULSe, a semi-supervised method for detecting selective sweeps using positive-unlabeled learning, showing high performance across diverse genomic contexts.

This study introduces TrIdent, a transfer learning tool for detecting adaptive genomic regions, showing improved performance over existing methods in various genetic and demographic settings.

The paper reveals a previously unknown genomic lineage in present-day Blackfoot Confederacy individuals and their historic ancestors, showing divergence during the Late Pleistocene.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Northeast Brazil and compares them to other ancient and present-day data, revealing migration routes along South America's Atlantic coast and unexpected ancestry signals.

This study presents the first whole genome sequences of pre-European contact Indigenous people from Uruguay, revealing connections to ancient Panama and eastern Brazil but not modern Amazonians, suggesting a distinct Atlantic coastal migration route.
