We map out the largest religious group (by percentage of the population) in every Southeast Asian country. Data for this map and article is sourced from the U.S. State Department’s Religious Freedom Report (2022). Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity in Southeast Asia Southeast Asian countries ...
Knowledge of the genetic determinants of common human diseases has increased tremendously in the past decade, mostly from discoveries made by genome-wide association studies (GWAS)1,2,3. The efficient design of GWAS for querying the entire genome benefitted from the arrival of the HapMap resource...

Wenzhou virus (WENV), a member of the Mammarenavirus genus in the Arenaviridae family, has been detected in wild rodents from eight provinces in China, including Zhejiang, Shandong, Hainan, Xinjiang, Hunan, Guangdong, Yunnan, and Jiangxi provinces, and some countries from Southeast Asia. The ...
Several countries in Southeast Asia are nearing malaria elimination, yet eradication remains elusive. This is largely due to the challenge of focusing elimination efforts, an area where risk prediction can play an essential supporting role. Despite its i
(1116 m asl). Furthermore, the high rate of introgression of Denisovan DNA in the genome of modern populations from New Guinea, east Indonesia, the Philippines (Mananwa population), and Australia strongly suggests that Denisovans were present in southern and/or southeast Asia15. The locations ...
Tigers and other large predatory carnivores have suffered population extirpations and range contractions. This is particularly true for tiger populations in southeastern Asia, which harbours one-third of their remaining habitats. In stark contrast, a sustained recovery of a wild tiger population has oc...
