TL;DR: Insight is provided into how obligate parasites with diverse life strategies arose from a once free-living phototrophic marine alga, and co-regulated with genes encoding the flagellar apparatus supporting the functional contribution of flagella to the evolution of invasion machinery.

TL;DR: This paper reported genome-wide ancient DNA data from 18 Southeast Asian individuals spanning from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age (4100 to 1700 years ago) and found that early farmers from Man Bac in Vietnam exhibit a mixture of East Asian (southern Chinese agriculturalist) and deeply diverged eastern Eurasian (hunter-gatherer) ancestry characteristic of Austroasiatic speakers.

TL;DR: Genome-wide data for 763 individuals from inner Eurasia reveal 3 admixture clines in present-day populations that mirror geography, illuminating the historic spread and mixture of peoples across the Eurasian steppe, taiga and tundra.

TL;DR: Individual protein phylogenies together with analyses of concatenated alignments show that the new species, here named Paratrypanosoma confusum n.

TL;DR: A comprehensive model for the Holocene peopling events of Chukotka and North America is developed, and it is shown that Na-Dene-speaking peoples, people of the Aleutian Islands, and Yup’ik and Inuit across the Arctic region all share ancestry from a single Palaeo-Eskimo-related Siberian source.
