The paper identifies a Denisovan-like MUC19 haplotype in Indigenous Americans and Neanderthals, showing it is under positive selection and has high copy numbers of a tandem repeat.

The paper examines how changes in generation time affect human mutation spectra, finding that such changes cannot fully explain observed mutation patterns, suggesting other factors are involved.

This paper introduces DATES, a genomic dating method to infer admixture timing in ancient genomes, revealing key migration events in Europe during the Holocene.

The paper evaluates variation in germline mutation rate estimates across labs using a standardized pedigree of rhesus macaques, highlighting methodological differences and the need for standardization.

This study introduces ASCEND, a method to infer founder events using allele sharing patterns, and applies it to human and dog populations, finding widespread recent founder events.

This paper compares germline mutation rates between humans and baboons, finding similar male mutation bias despite differences in reproductive timing, challenging the cell division hypothesis.
