Genomic insight into the population history of Central Han Chinese
Annals of Human Biology, 2021 Background In recent decades, considerable attention has been paid to exploring the population genetic characteristics of Han Chinese, mainly documenting a north-south genetic substructure.

Genome-wide signatures of population bottlenecks and diversifying selection in European wolves [PDF]
, 2013 Genomic resources developed for domesticated species provide powerful tools for studying the evolutionary history of their wild relatives. Here we use 61K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) evenly spaced throughout the canine nuclear genome to ...

Ancient pigs reveal a near-complete genomic turnover following their introduction to Europe [PDF]
, 2019 Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in the Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that pigs arrived in Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 y BP.

Modelling admixture across language levels to evaluate deep history claims
Journal of Language Evolution, 2022 The so-called ‘Altaic’ languages have been subject of debate for over 200 years. An array of different data sets have been used to investigate the genealogical relationships between them, but the controversy persists. The new data with a high potential for such cases in historical linguistics are structural features, which are sometimes declared to be ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Introduced biological control agents have opportunities of population admixture through multiple introductions in the field. However, the importance of population admixture for their establishment success often remains unclear.

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]
, 2018 Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of

GENETICS, 2023 Abstract qpAdm is a statistical tool that is often used for testing large sets of alternative admixture models for a target population. Despite its popularity, qpAdm remains untested on 2D stepping stone landscapes and in situations with low prestudy odds (low ratio of true to false models).

Genomics clarifies taxonomic boundaries in a difficult species complex. [PDF]
, 2017 Efforts to taxonomically delineate species are often confounded with conflicting information and subjective interpretation. Advances in genomic methods have resulted in a new approach to taxonomic identification that stands to greatly reduce much of this

Genome-wide and paternal diversity reveal a recent origin of human populations in North Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The geostrategic location of North Africa as a crossroad between three continents and as a stepping-stone outside Africa has evoked anthropological and genetic interest in this region.
