TL;DR: It is shown that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west Europeanhunter-gatherer related ancestry.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that western Eurasian genetic signatures in modern-day Native Americans derive not only from post-Columbian admixture, as commonly thought, but also from a mixed ancestry of the First Americans.

TL;DR: In this article, the causal role of alcohol consumption in cardiovascular disease was investigated using a Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis of 56 epidemiological studies, including 20 259 coronary heart disease cases and 10 164 stroke events.

TL;DR: The newly resolved phylogenetic structure suggests that ancestors of Native Americans paused when they reached Beringia, during which time New World founder lineages differentiated from their Asian sister-clades, and a swift migration southward that distributed the founder types all the way to South America.

TL;DR: The increased risk of type 2 diabetes noted with statins is at least partially explained by HMGCR inhibition.
