The African continent is regarded as the cradle of modern humans and African genomes
contain more genetic variation than those from any other continent, yet only a fraction of the …

Meisner and Albrechtsen present two methods for inferring population structure and
admixture proportions in low depth next-generation sequencing (NGS). NGS methods …

The farming way of life originated in the Near East some 11,000 years ago and had reached
most of the European continent 5000 years later. However, the impact of the agricultural …

Genome-wide patterns of homozygosity runs and their variation across individuals provide a
valuable and often untapped resource for studying human genetic diversity and evolutionary …

Empowered by modern genoty** and large samples, population structure can be
accurately described and quantified even when it only explains a fraction of a percent of total …

The consequences of the Neolithic transition in Europe—one of the most important cultural
changes in human prehistory—is a subject of great interest. However, its effect on prehistoric …

The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we
generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama …

The history of click-speaking Khoe-San, and African populations in general, remains poorly
understood. We genotyped∼ 2.3 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 220 southern …

We present Procrustean Approach to Cophylogeny (PACo), a novel statistical tool to test for
congruence between phylogenetic trees, or between phylogenetic distance matrices of …

Human groups show structured levels of genetic similarity as a consequence of factors such
as geographical subdivision and genetic drift. Surveying this structure gives us a scientific …
