TL;DR: In this paper, the early farmers of Anatolia and Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing of a Near Eastern population with a strongly bottlenecked Western hunter-gatherer population after the Last Glacial Maximum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Candidate Genes and Physiological Pathways Involved in Gonad Deformation in Whitefish (Coregonus spp.) from Lake Thun, Switzerland
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that a xenobiotic accumulated in whitefish via the plankton triggering autoimmunity as the likely cause of gonad deformations is induced through feeding of zooplankton from Lake Thun.
BookDOI
The scaling of genetic diversity in a changing and fragmented world
Miguel Arenas,Stefano Mona,Audrey Trochet,Anna Sramkova Hanulova,Mathias Currat,Nicolas Ray,Lounès Chikhi,Lounès Chikhi,Rita Rasteiro,Dirk S. Schmeller,Laurent Excoffier +10 more
TL;DR: The consequences of fragmentation, long-distance dispersal, range contractions and range shifts on genetic diversity are provided, and new methods to detect and quantify underlying evolutionary processes from sampled genetic data are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Genetic Surfing on Neutral Genomic Diversity
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the effect of gene surfing on the evolution of whole genomes during several types of 1D and 2D range expansions differing by the extent of migration, founder events, and recombination rates.

Reconstruction of nine thousand years of agriculture-based diet and impact on human genetic diversity in Asia
Srilakshmi M. Raj,Allison Pei,Allison Pei,Matthieu Foll,Florencia Schlamp,Laurent Excoffier,Laurent Excoffier,Dorian Q. Fuller,Dorian Q. Fuller,Toomas Kivisild,Toomas Kivisild,Andrew G. Clark +11 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that domestication of plants and animals around the world must have influenced the human genome differentially among human populations to a far greater degree than has been appreciated previously, and genetic variation in diet-related pathways is correlated with dietary differences among Asian populations.
