Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each
parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. Cousin marriage or inbreeding …

Investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) has emerged as a new, rapidly growing field of
forensic science. We describe the process whereby dense SNP data, commonly comprising …

Haplotype phasing is the estimation of haplotypes from genotype data. We present a fast,
accurate, and memory-efficient haplotype phasing method that scales to large-scale SNP …

Genome-wide genealogies compactly represent the evolutionary history of a set of genomes
and inferring them from genetic data has the potential to facilitate a wide range of analyses …

Long DNA segments shared between two individuals, known as identity-by-descent (IBD),
reveal recent genealogical connections. Here we introduce ancIBD, a method for identifying …

Consumer genomics databases have reached the scale of millions of individuals. Recently,
law enforcement authorities have exploited some of these databases to identify suspects via …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

The selective pressures that shape clonal evolution in healthy individuals are largely
unknown. Here we investigate 8,342 mosaic chromosomal alterations, from 50 kb to 249 Mb …

Runs of homozygosity (RoHs) are genomic stretches of a diploid genome that show identical
alleles on both chromosomes. Longer RoHs are unlikely to have arisen by chance but are …

Whole-genome sequencing enables complete characterization of genetic variation, but
geographic clustering of rare alleles demands many diverse populations be studied. Here …
