Until recently, the Y chromosome seemed to fulfil the role of juvenile delinquent among
human chromosomes—rich in junk, poor in useful attributes, reluctant to socialize with its …

The past decade of advances in molecular genetic technology has heralded a new era for
all evolutionary studies, but especially the science of human evolution. Data on various …

Inherited genetic variation has a critical but as yet largely uncharacterized role in human
disease. Here we report a public database of common variation in the human genome: more …

We present the high-quality genome sequence of a∼ 45,000-year-old modern human male
from Siberia. This individual derives from a population that lived before—or simultaneously …

The prevalence of highly repetitive sequences within the human Y chromosome has
prevented its complete assembly to date and led to its systematic omission from genomic …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Markers on the non-recombining portion of the human Y chromosome continue to have
applications in many fields including evolutionary biology, forensics, medical genetics, and …

According to historical records of transatlantic slavery, traders forcibly deported an estimated
12.5 million people from ports along the Atlantic coastline of Africa between the 16th and …

We have identified a Y-chromosomal lineage with several unusual features. It was found in
16 populations throughout a large region of Asia, stretching from the Pacific to the Caspian …

It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped
primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a …
