Panmap: Scalable phylogeny-guided alignment, genotyping, and placement on pangenomes
Alexander Kramer, Alan Zhang, Nicolás Ayala…·Russell B Corbett-Detig
Panmap efficiently aligns, genotypes, and places reads on large pangenomes using phylogenetic compression, enabling rapid analysis of up to 8 million genomes.

Extensive splicing deficiency in a degenerating mating-type chromosome
Christopher J. Condon, Andrea Galvez, Alexander Krämer…·Russell B Corbett-Detig
The paper identifies splicing deficiency in non-recombining mating-type chromosomes across phytoplankton species, showing how recombination suppression leads to transcript-level dysfunction.

Evidence for an ancient master sex determination gene in Hymenoptera
Sean M. Velasquez, Isaac J. Walker, Tyler Allen McClure…·Scott William Roy
The paper investigates the role of the ANTSR gene in CSD across Hymenoptera, finding it conserved in Aculeata and suggesting multiple CSD loci in Formica.

Transposable elements drive intron gain in diverse eukaryotes
Landen Gozashti, Scott William Roy, Bryan P. Thornlow…·Russell B Corbett-Detig
The paper identifies Introners, transposable elements driving intron gain in diverse eukaryotes, and finds they are prevalent in marine species and phylogenetically distant lineages.

Online Phylogenetics using Parsimony Produces Slightly Better Trees and is Dramatically More Efficient for Large SARS-CoV-2 Phylogenies than de novo and Maximum-Likelihood Approaches
Bryan P. Thornlow, Alexander Krämer, Cheng Ye…·Russell B Corbett-Detig
This study compares online and de novo phylogenetic methods for SARS-CoV-2, finding that maximum parsimony online approaches are more accurate and efficient than maximum likelihood or de novo methods.
