Journal ArticleDOI
Complex history of admixture between modern humans and Neandertals.
Benjamin Vernot,Joshua M. Akey +1 more
TL;DR: The history of admixture between modern humans and Neandertals is most likely more complex than previously thought because of differences in selection, and two additional demographic models are shown to be consistent with the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal and population genomics of human regulatory variation
Benjamin Vernot,Andrew B. Stergachis,Matthew T. Maurano,Jeff Vierstra,Shane Neph,Robert E. Thurman,John A. Stamatoyannopoulos,Joshua M. Akey +7 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that individuals likely harbor many more functionally important variants in regulatory DNA compared with protein-coding regions, although they are likely to have, on average, smaller effect sizes, and it is demonstrated that a large proportion of functionally important variation lies beyond the exome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neandertal Introgression Sheds Light on Modern Human Endocranial Globularity.

TL;DR: Findings show how integration of fossil skull data with archaic genomics and neuroimaging can suggest developmental mechanisms that may contribute to the unique modern human endocranial shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
admixr-R package for reproducible analyses using ADMIXTOOLS.
TL;DR: A new R package admixr is presented, which provides a convenient interface for performing reproducible population genetic analyses as implemented by command-line programs in the ADMIXTOOLS software suite, and provides a set of R functions for processing, filtering and manipulating datasets in the EIGENSTRAT format.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The earliest known modern human remains from Bacho Kiro Cave, Bulgaria, date to around 45,930 and 42,580 years ago, and were found in association with an Initial Upper Palaeolithic artefact assemblage.
