The paper measures recombination rates between inversion haplotypes at 17q21.31, finds gene flux occurs despite suppression, and shows its impact on fertility and genetic diversity.

The paper assembles unmapped reads from South Asian genomes to reveal hidden genetic variation not captured by traditional reference-based methods.

TRACE identifies archaic ancestry using ancestral recombination graphs from contemporary genomes, revealing ghost admixture and challenging existing interpretations of archaic introgression.

This paper investigates how geographic breadth of sampling affects the discovery and frequency of rare, deleterious variants in genetic studies.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes of six ape species with high accuracy and provides comparative analyses to study evolutionary diversity and gene family evolution.

The paper identifies genetic variants in meiosis genes associated with recombination phenotypes and aneuploidy risk using preimplantation genetic testing data.

The paper analyzes gene expression and splicing variation across diverse human populations, identifying population-specific and shared genetic regulatory elements.

The paper produces gapless assemblies of ape sex chromosomes for five great apes and a lesser ape, revealing divergence in Y chromosomes and evolutionary dynamics.

The paper compares genetic and oral histories of four Indian populations, finding genetic similarity to other Indian groups but no evidence of additional non-local genetic sources.

This study sequenced whole genomes of 449 Nigerian individuals from 47 ethnolinguistic groups to catalog genetic diversity and identify novel and medically relevant variation.

The paper expands the stdpopsim species catalog and improves genome simulations by adding non-crossover recombination and species-specific annotations, making simulations more realistic for non-model organisms.

This study examines proteomic variation between two Nigerian ethnic groups and identifies novel cis-pQTL associated with BMI.

The paper derives properties of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype patterns in temporally structured samples, providing insights for analyzing ancient and modern genetic data.

The paper introduces a method to infer genealogies from biobank-scale data and uses them in mixed models to detect associations with complex traits, finding more rare variants than traditional imputation methods.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of 3,514 Sardinians to explore population history, finding genetic isolation in the Gennargentu region and sex-biased demographic patterns.
