New finds in the palaeoanthropological and genomic records have changed our view of the
origins of modern human ancestry. Here we review our current understanding of how the …

Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Compared to its predecessors, the Telomere-to-Telomere CHM13 genome adds nearly 200
million base pairs of sequence, corrects thousands of structural errors, and unlocks the most …

Modern humans have populated Europe for more than 45,000 years,. Our knowledge of the
genetic relatedness and structure of ancient hunter-gatherers is however limited, owing to …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture
graphs (AGs) to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures …

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

A recent genetic association study identified a gene cluster on chromosome 3 as a risk locus
for respiratory failure after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 …
