The paper uses whole-genome analyses to challenge the two-domestication model of cattle, showing zebu originated from admixture between taurine cattle and Indian aurochs with introgression from gaur-like or banteng-like populations.

The paper extends the stdpopsim simulation framework to include realistic selection models, enabling studies of selection's impact on genetic variation across species.

The paper expands the stdpopsim species catalog and improves genome simulations by adding non-crossover recombination and species-specific annotations, making simulations more realistic for non-model organisms.

The paper shows that admixture in modern European genomes has masked over 50 historic hard sweeps, suggesting underappreciation of historical selection in human evolution.

The paper introduces Demes, a standard format for demographic models in population genetics to improve clarity and ease of use in simulations and analysis.

The paper introduces msprime 1.0, a high-performance simulation tool for ancestry and mutation in population genetics, showing it is faster and more memory efficient than existing alternatives.

This study evaluates the performance of PSMC and PSMC' on short genomic scaffolds and finds that psmc remains accurate down to 100 kb while msmc is only reliable for scaffolds over 1 Mb.
