Long-term evolution of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus pneumoniae leads to higher genetic diversity within rather than between human populations

Charlotte Davison, Sam Tallman, Megan De Ste Croix…·Sandra S. Beleza

This study compares genetic diversity within and between populations of Streptococcus mitis and S. pneumoniae, finding higher within-population diversity in S. mitis due to larger effective population size.

Whole-genome sequencing of Bantu-speakers from Angola and Mozambique reveals complex dispersal patterns and interactions throughout sub-Saharan Africa

Sam Tallman, Maria das Dores Sungo, Sílvio Saranga, Sandra S. Beleza

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Bantu-speakers from Angola and Mozambique to reveal complex dispersal patterns and interactions in sub-Saharan Africa, including admixture and heterogeneous population histories.
