This study uses DNA from museum hair samples to confirm Thomas Jefferson's ancestry in descendants of Sally Hemings and Martha Wayles Jefferson, supporting paternity over alternative explanations.

The paper introduces Paipu, a pipeline for creating a multi-species cancer transcriptomics atlas by harmonizing RNA-seq data from the SRA.

The paper analyzes mountain lion genomes to study genetic rescue effects in inbred populations, finding that translocated individuals quickly lose genetic diversity due to local inbreeding.

The paper analyzes genomic data from passenger pigeons and their relatives to show that natural selection reduced neutral genetic diversity despite large population size, challenging previous extinction theories.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from brown bear populations to show widespread polar bear admixture during the last ice age, peaking when their ranges overlapped.

This study uses historical genomes to show admixture before and after wisent extinction, challenging previous subspecies classifications.
