TL;DR: It is found that the initial diffusion of domesticated maize into the SW is likely to have occurred through a highland route, however, by 2000 years ago a Pacific coastal corridor was also being used and genes that were selected for early during domestication changed.

TL;DR: Analysis of the largest whole-genome sequencing study of diverse South Asians concluded that nearly all South Asians harbor ancestry from an unknown archaic human population that is neither Neanderthal nor Denisovan, but statistics cited in support of this conclusion do not replicate in other datasets, and in fact contradict the conclusion.

TL;DR: In the version of the Supplementary Information originally posted online, the Methods section was missing as discussed by the authors, which has been corrected 14 January 2015, and the Methods Section has been added to the article.

TL;DR: This study is the first to survey museum gray wolves' genomes from Southern China, highlighting how sequencing the paleogenome from museum specimens can help us to study extinct species.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the Relate algorithm was proposed to incorporate ancient genomes and reconstruct the joint genealogies of 14 previously published high-coverage ancients and 278 present-day individuals of the Simons Genome Diversity Project.
