Forensic DNA Phenoty** refers to the prediction of appearance traits of unknown sample
donors, or unknown deceased (missing) persons, directly from biological materials found at …

Neanderthals, our closest extinct relatives, lived in western Eurasia from 400,000 years ago
until they went extinct around 40,000 years ago. DNA retrieved from ancient specimens …

Using genome-wide data of 89 ancient individuals dated to 5100 to 100 years before the
present (BP) from 29 sites across the Tibetan Plateau, we found plateau-specific ancestry …

Ancient DNA makes it possible to observe natural selection directly by analysing samples
from populations before, during and after adaptation events. Here we report a genome-wide …

Modern humans arrived in Europe~ 45,000 years ago, but little is known about their genetic
composition before the start of farming~ 8,500 years ago. Here we analyse genome-wide …

Abstract Forensic DNA Phenoty** (FDP), ie the prediction of human externally visible traits
from DNA, has become a fast growing subfield within forensic genetics due to the …

We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-
coverage (30×) genome sequence of a Denisovan, an extinct relative of Neandertals. The …

There is now compelling evidence that the complexity of higher organisms correlates with
the relative amount of non-coding RNA rather than the number of protein-coding genes …

North Africa is a key region for understanding human history, but the genetic history of its
people is largely unknown. We present genomic data from seven 15,000-year-old modern …

The ubiquitylation of proteins is carried out by E1, E2 and E3 (ubiquitin ligase) enzymes, and
targets them for degradation or for other cellular fates. The HECT enzymes, including Nedd4 …
