Mitochondrial DNA errors tend to accumulate over generations but are counteracted by mechanisms that preserve mtDNA integrity in most species, including humans.
A curated genome-scale nucleotide diversity panel of 3,240 non-human primates from 269 species and 71 genera was created using a ploidy-aware variant calling approach.

SPLENDID improves polygenic risk prediction accuracy for non-European and admixed populations without requiring ancestry labels in large-scale biobank data.
Advances in sequencing and genome editing have significantly improved detection and understanding of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), revealing new insights into genome organization.
A high-resolution GWAS of nearly 600,000 East Asians identified 196 loci for T2D, including three novel loci, with 74% shared causal signals across populations.

The Soifua Manuia reference panel with 2,570 Samoan haplotypes doubles the number of well-imputed variants compared to TOPMed-R3 and 1KGP in Samoans.
- Open access
Ancient genomes from East Tianshan reveal a unique Bronze Age admixture between Yellow River farmers and Chemurchek steppe pastoralists, with significant regional diversity by the Iron Age.
Ancient inland southwestern Finland shows nearly a millennium of population continuity, while the coastal zone experienced a significant genetic shift since the Early Medieval period.

Within-family analysis reveals significant Indigenous American ancestry effects on height and type 2 diabetes in a Mexican population, with effects comparable to population-level estimates.
- Open access
Ancient pathogen genomics in Africa remains largely unexplored despite its importance for understanding disease history and emergence.
- Open access
Genomic analysis of 529 ancient individuals reveals no strong positive selection from Yersinia pestis during the second plague pandemic across northern Europe.
