This paper introduces BBQ, a tool that improves rare somatic variant calling by modeling sample-specific error rates using overlapping reads, reducing false positives compared to existing tools.

This study shows that sociality in spiders is linked to lower germline mutation rates, despite small population sizes and reduced selection pressure.

The paper introduces a method to estimate gene conversion tract length and rate from PacBio HiFi data, showing low visibility of NCO events in human sperm due to low SNV density.

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze gene conversion and crossover events in human, chimpanzee, and gorilla testes and sperm, revealing species-specific patterns and GC bias in gene conversion.
