The paper curates a genome-scale nucleotide diversity panel of non-human primates using ploidy-aware variant calling and multiple-genome alignment.

The paper examines negative selection on baboon admixture, finding stronger selection on the X chromosome in Tanzanian and Ethiopian populations.

Flex-sweep, a convolutional neural network over 11 summary statistics (five new), detects weak, soft, incomplete and old selective sweeps up to 0.125 * 4Ne generations using one sequenced population.

This paper develops graph-based algorithms for phase-type distributions, showing they are faster and more memory-efficient than traditional matrix-based methods.

The paper shows that virus-interacting proteins, even when conserved across species, experience high adaptive evolution, with viruses driving over 75% of adaptation in the most conserved human proteins.

The paper identifies extreme selective sweeps on the human X chromosome that displaced Neanderthal admixture around 50,000 years ago, suggesting a population without Neanderthal admixture contributed these haplotypes.
