Runs of homozygosity: windows into population history and trait architecture
Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each
parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. Cousin marriage or inbreeding …

Accurate proteome-wide missense variant effect prediction with AlphaMissense
The vast majority of missense variants observed in the human genome are of unknown
clinical significance. We present AlphaMissense, an adaptation of AlphaFold fine-tuned on …

The complete genome sequence of a Neanderthal from the Altai Mountains
We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neanderthal woman from Siberia. We
show that her parents were related at the level of half-siblings and that mating among close …

Population genomics of the critically endangered kākāpō
The kākāpō is a flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Once common in the archipelago,
only 201 individuals remain today, most of them descending from an isolated island …
