TL;DR: Exome sequences from 3,222 British-Pakistani individuals with high parental relatedness are used to estimate exome mutation rates, finding frequent recurrence of mutations at polymorphic CpG sites, and an increase in C to T mutations in the Pakistani population compared to Europeans, suggesting that mutational processes have evolved rapidly between human populations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aligning aDNA sequences to variation graphs allows recovering a higher fraction of non-reference variation and effectively mitigates the impact of reference bias in population genetics analyses using aDNA, while retaining mapping sensitivity.

TL;DR: Genomix was used to combine predictions from four gene-finders for Caenorhabditis elegans, by selecting the predicted exons that are best conserved with C.briggsae and C.elegans by increasing the exon-level specificity and sensitivity compared to the best input gene-finder.

TL;DR: WormBase's role of genome sequence annotation is described, describing how it annotate and integrate data from a growing collection of nematode species and strains, and the impact on annotation quality of large functional genomics projects such as modENCODE is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 929 high-coverage genome sequences from 54 diverse human populations, 26 of which are physically phased using linked-read sequencing, revealing an excess of previously undocumented common genetic variation private to southern Africa, central Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, but an absence of such variants fixed between major geographical regions.
