We have our first paper from the Buffalo laboratory published at Molecular Biology and Evolution (link here, it is Open Access). The paper describes polymorphic human deletions that are shared with Neandertals or Denisovans. Most of these […]
We recently published a 16 high-quality genomes of unrelated Turkish individuals. It is not enough, yet, to really decipher what is going on in the complex geography of Anatolia. But, it is, I think, a

We have a new paper regarding variation of retrotransposed genes among healthy individuals: In primates and other animals reverse transcription of mRNA followed by genomic integration creates retroduplications. Expressed retroduplications are either ‘retrogenes’ coding for
Our efforts to resequence and analyze primate genomes with a focus on genomic structural variation has now been published. Here is the link for the paper and here is the link for the curated datasets. The
This paper describing a nice evolutionary story about interaction between HIV and the host immune system, is mostly the effort of our collaborators in Mount Sinai. You can find the abstract below and here is
Finally, our manuscript entitled “Balancing selection on a Regulatory Region Exhibiting Ancient Variation That Predates Human–Neandertal Divergence” was published in PLoS Genetics. You can find it here… It is Open Access. Also, link to the post
I am the co-first author of a recent paper with Rebecca (Iskow), discussing the impact of copy number differences between primate species to expression regulation. I do think that copy number differences of regulatory genes
We have been busy for some time helping Dr. Peter Park’s group in Harvard School of Public Health to validate and fine-tune calling somatic transposable elements (TEs) in human genome and, more importantly, in genomes of cancer

We have a new review paper in Trends in Genetics regarding the role of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in human adaptation. I think, it lays out some of the emerging promises (and hardships) of the field and
I was pleasantly surprised when I received the news that Matt [Dulik]’s paper on the genetic variation of Altai populations, of which I am a co-author, got published in American Journal of Human Genetics. The
