Indicine cattle, also referred to as zebu (Bos taurus indicus), play a central role in pastoral
communities across a wide range of agro-ecosystems, from extremely hot semiarid regions …

Host genetic factors can confer resistance against malaria, raising the question of whether
this has led to evolutionary adaptation of parasite populations. Here we searched for …

As the ancestral homeland of our species, Africa contains elevated levels of genetic diversity
and substantial population structure. Importantly, African genomes are heterogeneous: They …

Multicellular eukaryotes emerged late in evolution from an ocean of viruses, bacteria,
