Population genomics of finless porpoises reveal an incipient cetacean species adapted to freshwater
Xuming Zhou,Xuanmin Guang,Di Sun,Shixia Xu,Mingzhou Li,Inge Seim,Wencai Jie,Linfeng Yang,Qianhua Zhu,Jiabao Xu,Qiang Gao,Alaattin Kaya,Qianhui Dou,Bingyao Chen,Wenhua Ren,Shuai Cheng Li,Kaiya Zhou,Vadim N. Gladyshev,Rasmus Nielsen,Xiaodong Fang,Guang Yang +20 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoises are reproductively isolated from other porpoise populations and harbor unique genetic adaptations, supporting that they should be considered a unique incipient species.
Journal ArticleDOI
An approximate full-likelihood method for inferring selection and allele frequency trajectories from DNA sequence data.
TL;DR: The method CLUES treats the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) as a latent variable that is integrated out using previously published Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, and can be used for detecting selection, estimating selection coefficients, testing models of changes in the strength of selection, and for inferring the allele frequency trajectory of a selected or neutral allele.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study on Time to Recovery in 254 Injured Novice Runners
TL;DR: Medial tibial stress syndrome was the most common injury followed by patellofemoral pain, medial meniscal injury and Achilles tendinopathy; among those sustaining running-related injuries, the types of injuries and time to recovery is described.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ancestors of the so-called “Taino” who inhabited large parts of the Caribbean in pre-Columbian times originated in northern South America, and there is evidence that they had a comparatively large effective population size.

TL;DR: It is found that two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of the indigenous groups known as 'Botocudos', find that their genomic ancestry is Polynesian, with no detectable Native American component.
