Targeted Chromosomal Sequencing of Wild Bonobos Identifies a Genetically Distinct Subpopulation East of the Lomami River

This study uses non-invasive fecal samples and chromosome 21 target capture sequencing to analyze bonobo population structure, identifying three subpopulations and river barriers influencing genetic differentiation.

Non-invasive genomic sampling uncovers novel connectivities and origins of confiscated gorillas

This study uses non-invasive genomic sampling to analyze genetic diversity in wild gorillas, revealing population clusters and migration patterns, and predicts geographic origins with high accuracy.

Local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees

This study identifies local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees, particularly to pathogens like malaria, using newly generated exomes.

Geographically structured genomic diversity of non-human primate-infecting Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue

The paper characterizes the genomic diversity of Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue in non-human primates across sub-Saharan Africa, finding geographic clustering of strains rather than host or symptom-based clades.
