A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome

TL;DR: The genomic data suggest that Neandertals mixed with modern human ancestors some 120,000 years ago, leaving traces of Ne andertal DNA in contemporary humans, suggesting that gene flow from Neand Bertals into the ancestors of non-Africans occurred before the divergence of Eurasian groups from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing for ancient admixture between closely related populations

TL;DR: This paper presents a test for ancient admixture that exploits the asymmetry in the frequencies of the two nonconcordant gene trees in a three-population tree, and derives the analytic expectation of a test statistic, called the D statistic, which is sensitive to asymmetry under alternative demographic scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bayesian clustering algorithms ascertaining spatial population structure: a new computer program and a comparison study

TL;DR: This study compares the relative performances of the Bayesian clustering computer programs STRUCTURE, GENELAND, GENECLUST and a new program named TESS to suggest that combining analyses using TESS and STRUCTURES offers a convenient way to address inference of spatial population structure.

The Genetic Ancestry of African Americans, Latinos, and European Americans across the United States

TL;DR: The authors studied the genetic ancestry of 5,269 self-described African Americans, 8,663 Latinos, and 148,789 European Americans who are 23andMe customers and showed that the legacy of these historical interactions is visible in the genetic lineage of present-day Americans.
