Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each
parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. Cousin marriage or inbreeding …

This review presents a broader approach to the implementation and study of runs of
homozygosity (ROH) in animal populations, focusing on identifying and characterizing ROH …

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 …

Understanding the factors that cause endangered populations to either grow or decline is
crucial for preserving biodiversity. Conservation efforts often address extrinsic threats, such …

The kākāpō is a flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Once common in the archipelago,
only 201 individuals remain today, most of them descending from an isolated island …

It has been shown that Neanderthals contributed genetically to modern humans outside
Africa 47,000–65,000 years ago. Here we analyse the genomes of a Neanderthal and a …

Farming and sedentism first appeared in southwestern Asia during the early Holocene and
later spread to neighboring regions, including Europe, along multiple dispersal routes …

Abstract The Great Hungarian Plain was a crossroads of cultural transformations that have
shaped European prehistory. Here we analyse a 5,000-year transect of human genomes …

We extend the scope of European palaeogenomics by sequencing the genomes of Late
Upper Palaeolithic (13,300 years old, 1.4-fold coverage) and Mesolithic (9,700 years old …

Elevated serum urate levels cause gout and correlate with cardiometabolic diseases via
poorly understood mechanisms. We performed a trans-ancestry genome-wide association …
