samsampleX improves benchmarking of NGS data by simulating realistic coverage distributions through distribution-aware downsampling, outperforming uniform methods in preserving depth variability.

The paper analyzes Y chromosome data from Newfoundland and Labrador to show genetic evidence of a founder effect, with haplotypes primarily from English and Irish sources and some contributions from Basque, French, Portuguese, and Spanish populations.

This study analyzes the genetic structure of Newfoundland and Labrador using SNP data, revealing coastal community clustering, religious denomination associations, and a recent population bottleneck.
