The paper validates inversions in the human genome using droplet digital PCR, showing their frequency, recurrence, and functional effects across populations.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Bantu-speaking populations in Mozambique and Angola to trace the Bantu expansion, finding a North-South dispersal pattern and genetic substructure.

The paper studies 45 common human polymorphic inversions, showing their functional and evolutionary impact, including gene disruption and association with phenotypic traits.

The paper analyzes genome-wide SNP data to assess Sephardic ancestry in Iberian Peninsula populations and surrounding regions, finding evidence of recent Sephardic admixture and challenges in ancestry assignment.

The paper analyzes maternal genetic structure in Namib Desert populations to evaluate peopling hypotheses, finding strong Bantu influences and endogamous matriclanic systems.
