Check out our new paper! 🧐
A high-coverage Neandertal genome confirms small, isolated populations, Denisovan admixture, and extreme population structure accelerating differentiation, with levels matching the most divergent humans today.

Excited to share our latest work on the factors that determine what genes we find (and don't find!) in GWAS and burden tests.

We describe a critical concept that we call *specificity*.
