The paper updates the RZooRoH package to improve computational efficiency and interpretability in analyzing inbreeding, identity-by-descent, and relatedness from genomic data.

This study uses whole-genome sequences from four honey bee species to assess genetic diversity impacts of beekeeping and conservation strategies, revealing historical bottlenecks and genomic conservation.

The paper evaluates prediction accuracy for eye, hair, and skin pigmentation in admixed Latin Americans using genomic and phenotypic data, finding that Random Forest and regression perform best, and that pigmentation SNPs improve accuracy, especially for skin color.
