Characterising the detectable and invisible fractions of genomic loci under balancing selection

The paper quantifies how many genomic loci under balancing selection are detectable versus invisible to standard tests, showing detectable loci are a biased subset with large fitness effects.

The genetic architecture of phenotypic diversity in the betta fish (Betta splendens)

This study identifies the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity in betta fish using GWAS and genome sequencing, revealing loci associated with coloration, sex determination, and aggression.

Evaluation of methods for estimating coalescence times using ancestral recombination graphs

This study benchmarks three ARG inference methods for estimating coalescence times using simulations, finding ARGweaver most accurate but less scalable than Relate and tsinfer+tsdate.

Population Differentiation at the HLA Genes

The paper examines population differentiation at HLA genes under balancing selection, finding reduced differentiation globally but higher differentiation in closely related populations.
