The genome of a Late Pleistocene human from a Clovis burial site in western Montana

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic evidence for the Pleistocene and recent population history of Native Americans

Maanasa Raghavan, +121 more
- 21 Aug 2015 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the origin and spread of horse domestication in the Eurasian steppe

TL;DR: This paper reconstructs both the population genetic structure of the extinct wild progenitor of domestic horses, Equus ferus, and the origin and spread of horse domestication in the Eurasian steppes by fitting a spatially explicit stepping-stone model to genotype data from >300 horses sampled across northern Eurasia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary analysis of the female-specific avian W chromosome.

TL;DR: A draft assembly of the non-recombining region of the collared flycatcher W chromosome is presented, containing 46 genes without evidence of female-specific functional differentiation, demonstrating evolutionary stable matrilineal inheritance of this nuclear–cytonuclear pair of chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved calibration of the human mitochondrial clock using ancient genomes

TL;DR: A comprehensive data set of 350 ancient and modern human complete mitochondrial DNA genomes is compiled and estimated substitution rates using calibrations based both on dated nodes and tips are demonstrated to be far more consistent with each other than those based on nodes and should thus be considered as more reliable.
