TL;DR: The genome sequence of a male infant recovered from the Anzick burial site in western Montana is sequenced and it is shown that the gene flow from the Siberian Upper Palaeolithic Mal’ta population into Native American ancestors is also shared by the AnZick-1 individual and thus happened before 12,600 years bp.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there has been gene flow between some Native Americans from both North and South America and groups related to East Asians and Australo-Melanesians, the latter possibly through an East Asian route that might have included ancestors of modern Aleutian Islanders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present genome-wide sequence data from ancient and present-day humans from Greenland, Arctic Canada, Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Siberia, and show that a single Paleo-Eskimo metapopulation likely survived in near-isolation for more than 4000 years, only to vanish around 700 years ago.

TL;DR: Theobroma cacao L. cultivar Matina 1-6 belongs to the most cultivated cacao type and the availability of its genome sequence and methods for identifying genes responsible for important cacao traits will aid cacao researchers and breeders as discussed by the authors.

A monkey's tale: the origin of Plasmodium vivax as a human malaria parasite.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships among 10 species of Plasmodium that infect primates are investigated by using three genes, two nuclear (beta-tubulin and cell division cycle 2) and a gene from the plastid genome (the elongation factor Tu) to find compelling evidence that P. vivax is derived from a species that inhabited macaques in Southeast Asia.
