A Global Atlas of Immune Alleles Reveals Health-Relevant Variation Across Groups

The paper presents GAIA, a global atlas of immune alleles, showing that underrepresented groups have more diverse alleles needed for vaccine design than Northwest European groups.

Faroese Whole Genomes Provide Insight into Ancestry and Recent Selection

This study analyzes whole genome sequencing data from the Faroe Islands to explore ancestry, genetic diversity, and signals of recent selection in a North Atlantic founder population.

Transposable elements drive much of naturally occurring genetic lethality in Drosophila melanogaster

This study identifies transposable element insertions as a major cause of recessive lethality in Drosophila melanogaster, suggesting they drive lethal mutation frequencies through repeated invasions and suppression.

Whole-genome Studies of Malagasy People Uncover Novel Body Composition Associations

This study presents the first whole genome sequence data and genome-wide association study in a Malagasy cohort, uncovering novel body composition associations and highlighting the importance of diverse populations in genomic research.

Localizing post-admixture adaptive variants with object detection on ancestry-painted chromosomes

The paper develops a deep learning object detection method to identify post-admixture adaptive variants by analyzing ancestry-painted genomes, achieving more precise localization than existing methods.
