Combined Low-/High-Density Modern and Ancient Genome-Wide Data Document Genomic Admixture History of High-Altitude East Asians

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is considered to be one of the last terrestrial environments conquered by the anatomically modern human. Understanding of the genetic background of highland Tibetans plays a pivotal role in archeology, anthropology, genetics, and

Exploring the phylogeography of a hexaploid freshwater fish by RAD sequencing

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
The KwaZulu‐Natal yellowfish (Labeobarbus natalensis) is an abundant cyprinid, endemic to KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa. In this study, we developed a single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset from double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA (

Reconstructing Druze population history [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThe Druze are an aggregate of communities in the Levant and Near East living almost exclusively in the mountains of Syria, Lebanon and Israel whose ~1000 year old religion formally opposes mixed marriages and conversions. Despite increasing interest in genetics of the population structure of the Druze, their population history remains unknown ...

PyDamage: automated ancient damage identification and estimation for contigs in ancient DNA de novo assembly [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
DNA de novo assembly can be used to reconstruct longer stretches of DNA (contigs), including genes and even genomes, from short DNA sequencing reads. Applying this technique to metagenomic data derived from archaeological remains, such as paleofeces and ...

A Proposal for Reclassifying Causes of Death in Transylvania (1850–1920): The HCDT System

Przeszłość Demograficzna Polski, 2022
Our research explores issues related to the process of classifying causes of death, using information from parish registers of burials included in the Historical Population Database of Transylvania (HPDT), and covering the period between 1850 and 1920 ...

Genomic history of the Sardinian population [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2018
The population of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia has made important contributions to genome-wide association studies of complex disease traits and, based on ancient DNA studies of mainland Europe, Sardinia is hypothesized to be a unique refuge for early Neolithic ancestry. To provide new insights on the genetic history of this flagship population,

Genome Assembly for a Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau “3E” Fish, Anabarilius grahami (Regan), and Its Evolutionary and Genetic Applications

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
A Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau fish, the Kanglang white minnow (Anabarilius grahami), is a typical “3E” (Endangered, Endemic, and Economic) species in China. Its distribution is limited to Fuxian Lake, the nation’s second deepest lake, with a significant local

Genetics and the population history of Europe [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Analysis of genetic variation among modern individuals is providing insight into prehistoric events. Comparisons of levels and patterns of genetic diversity with the predictions of models based on archeological evidence suggest that the spread of early farmers from the Levant was probably the main episode in the European population history, but ...

Historical changes in caribou distribution and land cover in and around Prince Albert National Park: land management implications

Rangifer, 2011
In central Saskatchewan, boreal woodland caribou population declines have been documented in the 1940s and again in the 1980s. Although both declines led to a ban in sport hunting, a recovery was only seen in the 1950s and was attributed to wolf control ...

Non-linear relationship between food resource exploitation and population density of stored-product pests

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2000
The main current strategies (IPM, HACCP) to control pests in stored food products are based on critical thresholds derived from pest population density.
