This study analyzes the genomic history of Nilgiri tribes, revealing fine-scale substructure and complex Holocene gene flow patterns.

The paper analyzes haplogroup R30 in South Asia to trace human dispersal, finding it originated in the Indian subcontinent ~50 kya and shows evidence of multiple migrations.

This study characterizes a multidrug-resistant Proteus mirabilis isolate from India, revealing AMR genes, virulence factors, and novel genomic features associated with its pathogenic potential.

The paper identifies positive selection at the Neanderthal introgressed 3p21.31 locus in East Asians, linked to LZTFL1-driven ciliary changes that may influence COVID-19 severity.

The paper provides a high-quality whole genome sequence and assembly for the house sparrow, Passer domesticus, which serves as a reference for comparative and population genomic studies.
