Genetic structure of the population of wild-growing vines of the Utrish Nature Reserve
Grapes are one of the most common agricultural crops in the world. Currently, the analysis of genotypes directly at the DNA level is considered to be the most accurate method for studying the plant gene pool. The study of wild vines and ancient varieties

Benchmarking Metagenomic Classifiers on Simulated Ancient and Modern Metagenomic Data
Taxonomic profiling of ancient metagenomic samples is challenging due to the accumulation of specific damage patterns on DNA over time. Although a number of methods for metagenome profiling have been developed, most of them have been assessed on modern ...

Change-point model on nonhomogeneous Poisson processes with application in copy number profiling by next-generation DNA sequencing [PDF]
We propose a flexible change-point model for inhomogeneous Poisson Processes, which arise naturally from next-generation DNA sequencing, and derive score and generalized likelihood statistics for shifts in intensity functions.
