      Using experiments in the white fly, this manuscript provides evidence that the bacterial symbiont Wolbachia can be transmitted from parasitoid wasps to their insect hosts. Characterizing the transfer of Wolbachia between insect species is a valuable attempt to explain the widespread of this intracellular bacterium. This paper is incomplete as it does not furnish sufficient data to support several of its claims for which additional methods and data are necessary.

      eLife assessment

      This paper describes an important software framework for the curation, retrieval, and analysis of ancient human genomic data and their associated metadata, overcoming long-standing coordination and harmonization issues in ancient human genomics. The resource is built on compelling and sometimes exceptional principles of software engineering and reproducibility, and the authors make an excellent case that their resource will be of practical use to many researchers studying human history using DNA. The main issues include natural uncertainties regarding future funding and maintenance of this resource, as well as deviation from established standards in other areas of genomics.
