  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project

    Open AccessSwapan Mallick, Heng Li et al.ARTICLENature2016

    Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human reference genome. Our analysis reveals key features of the landscape of human genome variation, including that the rate of accumulation of mutations has accelerated by about 5% in non-Africans compared to Africans since divergenc…

  • Genomic evidence for the Pleistocene and recent population history of Native Americans

    Open AccessMaanasa Raghavan, Matthias Steinrücken et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Genetic history of Native Americans Several theories have been put forth as to the origin and timing of when Native American ancestors entered the Americas. To clarify this controversy, Raghavan et al. examined the genomic variation among ancient and modern individuals from Asia and the Americas. There is no evidence for multiple waves of entry or recurrent gene flow with Asians in northern populations. The earliest migrations occurred no earlier…

  • Genetic affinities of Ukrainians from the maternal perspective

    Open AccessAndrey Pshenichnov, Oleg Balanovsky et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2013References: 12

    The area of what is now the Ukraine has been the arena of large‐scale demographic processes that may have left their traces in the contemporary gene pool of Ukrainians. In this study, we present new mitochondrial DNA data for 607 Ukrainians (hypervariable segment I sequences and coding region polymorphisms). To study the maternal affinities of Ukrainians at the level of separate mitochondrial haplotypes, we apply an original technique, the haplot…

  • Ancient DNA from European Early Neolithic Farmers Reveals Their Near Eastern Affinities

    Open AccessWolfgang Haak, Oleg Balanovsky et al.ARTICLEPLOS Biology2010

    In Europe, the Neolithic transition (8,000-4,000 B.C.) from hunting and gathering to agricultural communities was one of the most important demographic events since the initial peopling of Europe by anatomically modern humans in the Upper Paleolithic (40,000 B.C.). However, the nature and speed of this transition is a matter of continuing scientific debate in archaeology, anthropology, and human population genetics. To date, inferences about the …
