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
Mutability of Y-chromosomal microsatellites: rates, characteristics, molecular bases and forensic implications
Kaye N. Ballantyne,Miriam Goedbloed,Rixun Fang,Onno Schaap,Oscar Lao,Andreas Wollstein,Andreas Wollstein,Ying Choi,Kate van Duijn,Mark Vermeulen,Silke Brauer,Silke Brauer,Ronny Decorte,Micaela Poetsch,Nicole von Wurmb-Schwark,Peter de Knijff,Damian Labuda,Hélène Vézina,Hans Knoblauch,Rüdiger Lessig,Lutz Roewer,Rafał Płoski,Tadeusz Dobosz,Lotte Henke,Jürgen Henke,Manohar R. Furtado,Manfred Kayser +26 more
TL;DR: The 13 most mutable Y-STRs are analyzed in an independent sample set and empirically proved their suitability for distinguishing close and distantly related males, expected to revolutionize Y-chromosomal applications in forensic biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The HIrisPlex system for simultaneous prediction of hair and eye colour from DNA
Susan Walsh,Fan Liu,Andreas Wollstein,Leda Kovatsi,Arwin Ralf,Agnieszka Kosiniak-Kamysz,Wojciech Branicki,Manfred Kayser +7 more
TL;DR: The HIrisPlex system introduced here, including a single multiplex test assay, an interactive tool and prediction guide, and recommendations for reporting final outcomes, represents the first tool for simultaneously establishing categorical eye and hair colour of a person from DNA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a genome-wide association study for facial shape phenotypes in multiple discovery and replication cohorts, considering almost ten thousand individuals of European descent from several countries.
