DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2419122122
Abstract: Significance This study presents further insights into the population history of North-Eastern Africa during a crucial period when fishing, hunting, and gathering was replaced by food-production and a Neolithic lifestyle. Previous studies attributed variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.191805
Abstract: Secondary contacts can play a major role in the evolutionary histories of species. Various taxa diverge in allopatry and later on come into secondary contact during range expansions. When they meet, their interactions and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12915-024-01823-2
Abstract: Threshold-dependent gene drives (TDGDs) could be used to spread desirable traits through a population, and are likely to be less invasive and easier to control than threshold-independent gene drives. Engineered Genetic Incompatibility (EGI) is an… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.58791
Abstract: Gene drives for mosquito population replacement are promising tools for malaria control. However, there is currently no clear pathway for safely testing such tools in endemic countries. The lack of well-characterized promoters for infection-relevant tissues… read more here.
