An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

I have some exciting news (again!). I got money from the region (Occitanie) to hire a postdoc (and later an engineer / technician) to work on drug resistance evolution in malaria (P. faciparum) and…

Lists, arrays in cells, and nested arrays introduce new ways to store and organize related information, helping you keep data together without sacrificing...

A Nature investigation reveals a network of organizations that have been building their ranks through deceptive practices.

This study uses a within-family design to identify significant ancestry differences in complex traits such as height and type 2 diabetes in a genetically diverse population from Mexico City.

Ancient DNA and new inference methods have transformed the study of human origins, but consensus has not followed. Evidence increasingly indicates that hominin populations were pervasively structured ...

I guess technically it was revealed to the world by a coffee shop in Islington on Insta, but an hour later it was officially announced by Anthropic: one of their internal models, using the prove2.m…

I’m sure that some pictures are worth a thousand words, but others trigger a whole lot of puzzlement. Such was the case with the cover of a book I recently bought entitled Calculating with Tones: The ...

More than one million genomes helped identify DNA variants linked to extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism and more. Researchers measured how those traits influenced how people lived.

For the past year, bioRxiv and medRxiv authors have been able to include funder information with their preprints. This can be entered in a dedicated field during the submission process, using Research...

A JAX-led study of more than 5,000 people is challenging long-held assumptions about cerebral palsy genetics.

Single-cell technologies enable linking disease-risk variants to gene regulatory effects in specific cell-state contexts. However, most so called "single-cell eQTL" studies use a "pseudobulking" strat...

The authors present Gnomix, a local ancestry framework that delivers leading accuracy across diverse admixed datasets on both whole-genome and array data with high efficiency, together with Gnofix, it...

Background Redundant publication, the practice of submitting the same or substantially overlapping manuscripts multiple times, distorts the scientific record and wastes resources. Since 2022, publicat...

High-dimensional data are visualized through representation on tree structures.
