Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

Genetic polymorphism varies among species and within genomes, and has important
implications for the evolution and conservation of species. The determinants of this variation …

Personalized genome sequencing has revealed millions of genetic differences between
individuals, but our understanding of their clinical relevance remains largely incomplete. To …

The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent
vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 …

The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity—they have unlimited water, a large area, are well
connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and …

Abstract Background The Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is an ecologically
and economically relevant edible marine bivalve, highly invasive and resilient to biotic and …

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 …

The sustainability of malaria control in Africa is threatened by the rise of insecticide
resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit the disease 1. To gain a deeper …

Genetic diversity is the amount of variation observed between DNA sequences from distinct
individuals of a given species. This pivotal concept of population genetics has implications …

Background Microsatellite markers are widely used for estimating genetic diversity within
and differentiation among populations. However, it has rarely been tested whether such …
