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.
Philip Ewels,Alexander Peltzer,Sven Fillinger,Harshil Patel,Johannes Alneberg,Andreas Wilm,Maxime Garcia,Paolo Di Tommaso,Sven Nahnsen +8 more
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
Alexander Peltzer,Günter Jäger,Alexander Herbig,Alexander Seitz,Christian Kniep,Johannes Krause,Kay Nieselt +6 more
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.

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.

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.
