Massive migration from the steppe is a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
Wolfgang Haak, Iosif Lazaridis, Nick Patterson +36
We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000-3,000 years ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost four hundred thousand polymorp…
No evidence that natural selection has been less effective at removing deleterious mutations in Europeans than in West Africans
Ron Do, Daniel Balick, Heng Li +3
Non-African populations have experienced major bottlenecks in the time since their split from West Africans, which has led to the hypothesis that natural selection to remove weakly…
Genome-wide scan of 29,141 African Americans finds no evidence of selection since admixture
Gaurav Bhatia, Arti Tandon, Melinda C. Aldrich +44
We scanned through the genomes of 29,141 African Americans, searching for loci where the average proportion of African ancestry deviates significantly from the genome-wide average.…
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…
Response to a population bottleneck can be used to infer recessive selection
Daniel J. Balick, Ron Do, David Reich +1
Here we present the first genome wide statistical test for recessive selection. This test uses explicitly non-equilibrium demographic differences between populations to infer the m…
Ancient west Eurasian ancestry in southern and eastern Africa
Joseph K. Pickrell, Nick Patterson, Po-Ru Loh +5
The history of southern Africa involved interactions between indigenous hunter-gatherers and a range of populations that moved into the region. Here we use genome-wide genetic data…
