Admixture influences the genetic architecture of DNA methylation in a wild primate hybrid zone

The paper examines how admixture affects DNA methylation genetic architecture in a wild primate hybrid zone, finding that admixture increases methylation variance and alters enhancer activity.

Enhancing student comprehension of paternity assignment in molecular primatology: a pilot study using a Shiny web application in Kenya

This paper evaluates a Shiny web app for teaching paternity inference in primatology, showing improved student understanding and engagement in a Kenyan setting.

Social and environmental predictors of gut microbiome age in wild baboons

The paper develops a microbiome-based age predictor for wild baboons using 13,563 gut microbial profiles and finds that microbiome age reflects current social and environmental conditions but not developmental milestones or lifespan.

DNA methylation signatures of early life adversity are exposure-dependent in wild baboons

This study identifies DNA methylation signatures in wild baboons linked to early life adversity, showing exposure-dependent effects and functional relevance of methylation changes.

Distinct gene regulatory signatures of dominance rank and social bond strength in wild baboons

This study identifies gene regulatory differences linked to dominance rank and social bond strength in wild baboons, showing sex-specific effects and distinct immune responses to social factors.

The costs of competition: high social status males experience accelerated epigenetic aging in wild baboons

This study finds that high-ranking male baboons show accelerated epigenetic aging, suggesting a trade-off between reproductive success and lifespan.
