Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans

Iosif Lazaridis, Nick Patterson, Alissa Mittnik +117

We sequenced genomes from a 7,000 year old early farmer from Stuttgart in Germany, an 8,000 year old hunter-gatherer from Luxembourg, and seven 8,000 year old hun…

Reducing pervasive false positive identical-by-descent segments detected by large-scale pedigree analysis

Eric Y. Durand, Nicholas Eriksson, Cory Y. McLean

Analysis of genomic segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) between individuals is fundamental to many genetic applications, from demographic inference to estimating the heritab…

Ehrhart polynomials and symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids

Daniel Cristofaro-Gardiner, Aaron Kleinman

McDuff and Schlenk determined when a four-dimensional ellipsoid can be symplectically embedded into a ball, and found that part of the answer is given by an infinite "Fibonacci sta…

A genetic variant near olfactory receptor genes influences cilantro preference

Nicholas Eriksson, Shirley Wu, Chuong B. Do +5

The leaves of the Coriandrum sativum plant, known as cilantro or coriander, are widely used in many cuisines around the world. However, far from being a benign culinary herb, cilan…

Genome-wide analysis points to roles for extracellular matrix remodeling, the visual cycle, and neuronal development in myopia

Amy K. Kiefer, Joyce Y. Tung, Chuong B. Do +4

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, resulting primarily from excess elongation of the eye. The etiology of myopia, although known to be complex, is poorly…

The genetic prehistory of southern Africa

Joseph K. Pickrell, Nick Patterson, Chiara Barbieri +18

Southern and eastern African populations that speak non-Bantu languages with click consonants are known to harbour some of the most ancient genetic lineages in humans, but their re…
