Inference of population genetics parameters using discriminator neural networks: an adversarial Monte Carlo approach

The paper introduces a discriminator neural network approach for inferring population genetics parameters using an adversarial Monte Carlo method, showing high accuracy on simulated data.

Population genomics of the island thrush elucidates one of earth's great archipelagic radiations

This study uses genome-wide SNP data to reconstruct the phylogeny and population history of the island thrush, revealing its explosive radiation across the Indo-Pacific from migratory ancestors.

Ancient genomes reveal hybridisation between extinct short-faced bears and the extant spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus)

The paper uses ancient nuclear genome sequences to show that the extant spectacled bear has ancestry from Pleistocene hybridization with an extinct short-faced bear lineage, causing discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies.

A community-maintained standard library of population genetic models

The paper introduces stdpopsim, a community-maintained library for population genetic models, to standardize simulations and facilitate benchmarking of inference tools.
