The genetic history of Ice Age Europe

Qiaomei Fu, +76 more
- 09 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse genome-wide data from 51 Eurasians from ~45,000-7,000 years ago and find that the proportion of Neanderthal DNA decreased from 3-6% to around 2%, consistent with natural selection against Neanderthal variants in modern humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nf-core framework for community-curated bioinformatics pipelines.

TL;DR: The nf-core framework is introduced as a means for the development of collaborative, peerreviewed, best-practice analysis pipelines that can be used across all institutions and research facilities and introduces a higher degree of portability as compared to custom in-house scripts.
Journal ArticleDOI

EAGER: efficient ancient genome reconstruction

TL;DR: This work introduces EAGER, a time-efficient pipeline, which greatly simplifies the analysis of large-scale genomic data sets and provides features to preprocess, map, authenticate, and assess the quality of ancient DNA samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing Prehistoric African Population Structure

Pontus Skoglund, +57 more
- 21 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: The deepest diversifications of African lineages were complex, involving either repeated gene flow among geographically disparate groups or a lineage more deeply diverging than that of the San contributing more to some western African populations than to others.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans

TL;DR: It is shown that Minoans and Mycenaeans were genetically similar, having at least three-quarters of their ancestry from the first Neolithic farmers of western Anatolia and the Aegean, and most of the remainder from ancient populations related to those of the Caucasus and Iran.
