TL;DR: It is shown that interbreeding, albeit of low magnitude, occurred among many hominin groups in the Late Pleistocene and a definitive list of substitutions that became fixed in modern humans after their separation from the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome sequences of five 6,000-year-old barley grains excavated at a cave in the Judean Desert showed the close affinity of ancient samples to extant landraces from the Southern Levant and Egypt, consistent with a proposed origin of domesticated barley in the Upper Jordan Valley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why Genes Evolve Faster on Secondary Chromosomes in Bacteria
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that genes on secondary chromosomes exhibited significantly weaker codon usage bias than those on primary chromosomes, likely due to the reduced necessity or usage of the secondary chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural selection shaped the rise and fall of passenger pigeon genomic diversity

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the effect that selection can have on a vertebrate genome and contradict results that suggested that population instability contributed to this species’s surprisingly rapid extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary history and adaptation of a human pygmy population of Flores Island, Indonesia

TL;DR: Genome-scale single-nucleotide polymorphism data and whole-genome sequences from a contemporary human pygmy population living on Flores near the cave where H. floresiensis was found show multiple independent instances of hominin insular dwarfism occurred on Flores.
