Decoding triancestral origins, archaic introgression, and natural selection in the Japanese population by whole-genome sequencing

"We showcased potential clinical usages of JEWEL and examined the genetic legacy of Neanderthals and Denisovans in the Japanese and investigated their associations with various phenotypes, which constitutes the largest non-European analysis to date."

Low-hanging fruit: everyone sees it, few actually pick it up πŸŽπŸ‡πŸ‰πŸ“πŸ«πŸ’

Our latest preprint explores dark pigmentation in blackberry, a plant characterized by low-hanging fruit. The combination of genomics and transcriptomics reveals insights into the genetics of pigment biosynthesis. High levels of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside were identified in blackberries, which may explain their dark coloration.

New DNA evidence shows dingoes are almost 90% pure – and fall into eight distinct groups

Ancient and modern dingo DNA reveals eight genetically distinct groups of dingoes – and the limited influence of domestic dog genes.
