The paper investigates how rDNA copy number variation affects yeast fitness under different environmental conditions and finds that higher copy numbers improve fitness in stress conditions.

The paper introduces Demes, a standard format for demographic models in population genetics to improve clarity and ease of use in simulations and analysis.

The paper introduces msprime 1.0, a high-performance simulation tool for ancestry and mutation in population genetics, showing it is faster and more memory efficient than existing alternatives.

The paper introduces a framework to efficiently compute population genetic statistics using genealogical trees, showing significant computational improvements over traditional methods.

This paper introduces an efficient method for recording and simplifying genetic history in population genetics simulations, reducing storage and computational costs.

Bioconda provides a sustainable, comprehensive distribution of bioinformatics software using Conda for reproducible analysis across platforms.

The paper uses forward simulations to show that a model of partial recessivity aligns with GWAS results and explains inconsistencies in heritability estimates.
