Machine learning approaches for automatic cleaning of investigative drilling data Open
Investigative drilling (ID) is an innovative measurement while drilling (MWD) technique that has been implemented in various site investigation projects across Australia. While the automated drilling feature of ID substantially reduces noi…

Rapid Sex Chromosome Turnover in African Clawed Frogs (<i>Xenopus</i>) and the Origins of New Sex Chromosomes Open
Sex chromosomes of some closely related species are not homologous, and sex chromosome turnover is often attributed to mechanisms that involve linkage to or recombination arrest around sex-determining loci. We examined sex chromosome turno…

Multiplex PCR reveals population structure in an inbred communal bird Open
We sampled communally breeding pūkeko ( Porphyrio melanotus melanotus , family Rallidae) populations on the North (Tāwharanui Park) and South (Otokia Reserve) Islands of New Zealand that differ in climate and ecology. North Island populati…

FourCastNeXt: Optimizing FourCastNet Training for Limited Compute Open
FourCastNeXt is an optimization of FourCastNet - a global machine learning weather forecasting model - that performs with a comparable level of accuracy and can be trained using around 5% of the original FourCastNet computational requireme…

Comparing forest product harvest rates and livelihood activities among migrant and Indigenous households in the Congo Basin Open
Understanding uneven patterns of forest use and tracking changes in the composition of forest residents are both important for sensitive forest policy and management. With increases in migration streams in several tropical forest regions, …

Functional dissection and assembly of a small, newly evolved, W chromosome-specific genomic region of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis Open
Genetic triggers for sex determination are frequently co-inherited with other linked genes that may also influence one or more sex-specific phenotypes. To better understand how sex-limited regions evolve and function, we studied a small W …

Large-scale functional screen identifies genetic variants with splicing effects in modern and archaic humans Open
Humans coexisted and interbred with other hominins which later became extinct. These archaic hominins are known to us only through fossil records and for two cases, genome sequences. Here, we engineer Neanderthal and Denisovan sequences in…

Species Delimitation, Phylogenomics, and Biogeography of Sulawesi Flying Lizards: A Diversification History Complicated by Ancient Hybridization, Cryptic Species, and Arrested Speciation Open
The biota of Sulawesi is noted for its high degree of endemism and for its substantial levels of in situ biological diversification. While the island’s long period of isolation and dynamic tectonic history have been implicated as drivers o…

Mitonuclear Interactions and the Origin of Macaque Societies Open
In most eukaryotes, aerobic respiration requires interactions between autosomally encoded genes (Ninteract genes) and mitochondrial DNA, RNA, and protein. In species where females are philopatric, contrasting distributions of genetic varia…

Consequences of polyploidy and divergence as revealed by cytogenetic mapping of repetitive elements in African clawed frogs (Xenopus, Pipidae) Open
Repetitive elements have multiple copies in a genome and have been identified in several amphibian genomes using whole genome sequencing, but few studies have used cytogenetic mapping to visualize these elements in this vertebrate group. H…

Population genomics and subgenome evolution of the allotetraploid frog <i>Xenopus laevis</i> in southern Africa Open
Allotetraploid genomes have two distinct genomic components called subgenomes that are derived from separate diploid ancestral species. Many genomic characteristics such as gene function, expression, recombination, and transposable element…

Divergent subgenome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus calcaratus Open
Allopolyploid genomes are divided into compartments called subgenomes that are derived from lower ploidy ancestors. In African clawed frogs of the subgenus Xenopus (genus Xenopus ), allotetraploid species have two subgenomes (L and S) with…

New insights into <i>Xenopus</i> sex chromosome genomics from the Marsabit clawed frog <i>X. borealis</i> Open
In many groups, sex chromosomes change frequently but the drivers of their rapid evolution are varied and often poorly characterized. With an aim of further understanding sex chromosome turnover, we investigated the polymorphic sex chromos…
