The paper analyzes archaic ancestry in Central and Southeast Asian populations, revealing three distinct Denisovan admixture events in Southeast Asia.

This study identifies genomic signals of selection in Asian populations linked to immunity, diet, and subsistence strategies, revealing complex interactions between cultural practices and natural selection.

This study reconstructs the complex admixture history of Sao Tome's population, revealing nested admixture events and shared ancestries between African and European groups.

This paper identifies three genetically distinct bonobo populations with inferred geographic origins and estimates split times and effective population sizes, highlighting the need for conservation attention to substructure.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing and machine learning to reconstruct demographic history and gene-flow patterns among African populations, finding that tree-like histories with gene-flow pulses better explain genetic diversity than continuous gene-flow.

This study analyzes genetic and linguistic data from Cabo Verde to trace admixture histories, finding early European-African mixing predating the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and ongoing effects of socio-cultural dynamics.

This paper develops an ABC framework to reconstruct complex admixture histories using simulated genetic data and applies it to African American and Barbadian populations.
