Denisova Admixture and the First Modern Human Dispersals into Southeast Asia and Oceania
David Reich,Nick Patterson,Martin Kircher,Frederick C. Delfin,Madhusudan R. Nandineni,Irina Pugach,Albert Min-Shan Ko,Ying-Chin Ko,Timothy A. Jinam,Maude E. Phipps,Naruya Saitou,Andreas Wollstein,Andreas Wollstein,Manfred Kayser,Svante Pääbo,Mark Stoneking +15 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that Denisova gene flow occurred into the common ancestors of New Guineans, Australians, and Mamanwa but not into the ancestors of the Jehai and Onge and suggest that relatives of present-day East Asians were not in Southeast Asia when the DenisovaGene flow occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient DNA indicates human population shifts and admixture in northern and southern China
Melinda A. Yang,Melinda A. Yang,Xuechun Fan,Bo Sun,Chung-Yu Chen,Jianfeng Lang,Ying-Chin Ko,Cheng-hwa Tsang,Hung-Lin Chiu,Tianyi Wang,Tianyi Wang,Qingchuan Bao,Xiaohong Wu,Mateja Hajdinjak,Albert Min-Shan Ko,Manyu Ding,Peng Cao,R. Yang,Feng Liu,Birgit Nickel,Qingyan Dai,Xiaotian Feng,Lizhao Zhang,Chengkai Sun,Chao Ning,Wen Zeng,Yongsheng Zhao,Ming Zhang,Xing Gao,Yinqiu Cui,David Reich,Mark Stoneking,Qiaomei Fu +32 more
TL;DR: Genetic differentiation in this region was higher in the past than the present, which reflects a major episode of admixture involving northern East Asian ancestry spreading across southern East Asia after the Neolithic, thereby transforming the genetic ancestry of southern China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Austronesians: Into and Out Of Taiwan
Albert Min-Shan Ko,Chung-Yu Chen,Qiaomei Fu,Frederick S. Delfin,Mingkun Li,Hung-Lin Chiu,Mark Stoneking,Ying-Chin Ko +7 more
TL;DR: Bayesian phylogenetic analysis allows us to reconstruct a history of early Austronesians arriving in Taiwan in the north, spreading rapidly to the south, and leaving Taiwan ~4,000 years ago to spread throughout Island Southeast Asia, Madagascar, and Oceania.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human paternal and maternal demographic histories: insights from high-resolution Y chromosome and mtDNA sequences
Sebastian Lippold,Hongyang Xu,Hongyang Xu,Albert Min-Shan Ko,Mingkun Li,Gabriel Renaud,Anne Butthof,Anne Butthof,Roland Schröder,Mark Stoneking +9 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the controversial assertion that genetic differences between human populations on a global scale are bigger for the NRY than for mtDNA, although the differences are not as large as previously suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercountry prevalences and practices of betel-quid use in south, southeast and eastern Asia regions and associated oral preneoplastic disorders: an international collaborative study by Asian betel-quid consortium of south and east Asia.

Rajapakse,Supun Amila Warusavithana,Ishak Abdul Razak,Norlida Abdullah,P. Shrestha,Aij-Lie Kwan,Tien-Yu Shieh,Mu-Kuan Chen,Ying-Chin Ko +20 more
TL;DR: The ABC study reveals the significant cultural and demographic differences contributing to practice patterns of BQ usage and the great health risks that such practices pose in the Asian region.
