Genomic insights into the formation of human populations in East Asia

Chuan-Chao Wang, +87 more
- 22 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report genome-wide data from 166 East Asian individuals dating to between 6000 and 1000 BC and 46 present-day groups, showing that hunter-gatherers from Japan, the Amur River Basin, and people of Neolithic and Iron Age Taiwan and the Tibetan Plateau are linked by a deeply splitting lineage that probably reflects a coastal migration during the Late Pleistocene epoch.

MSMC and MSMC2: The Multiple Sequentially Markovian Coalescent.

TL;DR: The main program MSMC is described and all the necessary steps of processing genomic data from BAM files all the way to generating plots of inferred population size and separation histories are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking human population structure through time from whole genome sequences.

TL;DR: A novel approach based on the Multiple Sequentially Markovian Coalescent (MSMC) to analyze the separation history between populations, and detects traces of extremely deep ancestry between some African populations, with around 1% of ancestry dating to divergences older than a million years ago.
