The paper uses simulations to assess risks and benefits of hybridization in Caribbean coral restoration, finding low genetic swamping risk and limited adaptive introgression potential.

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.

This study models the Neolithic expansion in Europe, finding limited cultural transmission and predominant within-group mating, challenging assumptions about demic diffusion.

This paper introduces DeepLOF, a deep learning model that improves essential gene prediction by integrating population and functional genomic data, identifying 109 previously undetected short essential genes.

The paper evaluates how transcriptome assembly quality affects phylogenomic analyses by comparing high- and low-quality assemblies in craniates.
