Genome sequence data are now being routinely obtained from many nonmodel organisms.
These data contain a wealth of information about the demographic history of the populations …

Positive selection occurs when an allele is favored by natural selection. The frequency of the
favored allele increases in the population and due to genetic hitchhiking the neighboring …

INTRODUCTION The accurate sequence and assembly of genomes is critical to our
understanding of evolution and genetic variation. Despite advances in short-read …

The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) has considerable importance in population genetics.
To date, estimates of the DFE come from studies using a small number of individuals. Thus …

Disentangling the effect on genomic diversity of natural selection from that of demography is
notoriously difficult, but necessary to properly reconstruct the history of species. Here, we …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

We present haplotype-resolved reference genomes and comparative analyses of six ape
species, namely: chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan …

Host-associated microbiomes are essential for a multitude of biological processes. Placed at
the contact zone between external and internal environments, the little-studied oral …

We present three linkage-disequilibrium (LD)-based recombination maps generated using
whole-genome sequence data from 10 Nigerian chimpanzees, 13 bonobos, and 15 western …

Northern Fennoscandia and the Sakha Republic in the Russian Federation represent the
northernmost regions on Earth where cattle farming has been traditionally practiced. In this …
