The paper develops a model to predict ancestry switches in admixed genomes and validates it against simulations and empirical data.

The paper examines viral metabolism in coral reefs, finding that lytic viruses consume central carbon intermediates for virion production, while temperate viruses build them, leading to distinct ecosystem states.

This study compares gut virome composition across ancient and modern human populations, finding increased similarity and shifts toward temperate lifestyles and bacterial pathogenicity with industrialization.
