The paper identifies evolutionary processes in acrocentric chromosomes of great apes, including repeat enrichment, inversion, and gene family amplification, with implications for human genomic instability.

The paper presents a high-accuracy T2T rhesus macaque genome assembly, identifies subtelomeric repeats as a challenge, and reveals new genomic features and functional elements in these regions.

The paper sequences chromosome 21 centromeres in Down syndrome families, finding extreme size asymmetry in some cases and suggesting it may be a genetic risk factor.

The paper analyzes centromere evolution in lemurs using long-read sequencing, finding rapid sequence turnover and distinct centromeric repeats across species.

The paper identifies a segmental duplication-mediated deletion causing neocentromere formation in orangutans by analyzing structural and epigenetic variation.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes of six ape species with high accuracy and provides comparative analyses to study evolutionary diversity and gene family evolution.

This study presents genome assemblies and analyses of macaques to explore genetic variation, population history, and evolutionary differences between species and humans.

The paper analyzes genomic data from the Picene culture to explore genetic continuity and change during the Iron Age and Roman expansion in Central Italy.

This study uses genomic sequencing to investigate genetic factors contributing to Disorders of Sexual Development in a French Bulldog and links findings to breeding practices.

The paper produces gapless assemblies of ape sex chromosomes for five great apes and a lesser ape, revealing divergence in Y chromosomes and evolutionary dynamics.

ASAP uses PCA and NNLS to reliably estimate ancestry in admixed individuals, even with high missing data, and performs faster than existing tools.

The paper analyzes genome-wide SNP data from Southern Italy and neighboring regions to assess historical contacts and genetic affinities across the Adriatic Sea.
