The paper uses evolutionary constraint scores to identify functional genomic regions and finds they are enriched for variants associated with common diseases.

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequences of 121 Puccinia triticina isolates to study lineage evolution and mutation patterns in asexual lineages.

The paper compares genomic features of canine and human angiosarcoma, finding shared genes and pathways, suggesting dogs as a valuable model for studying this cancer.

This study analyzes the population genomics of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii, revealing hybridization, biogeographic relationships, and genetic structure across global isolates.

The paper compares the genomes of three wheat rust pathogens to identify gene content variation and divergence in mating loci, highlighting differences in genome size, heterozygosity, and effector expression.
