TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andamanese do not derive substantial ancestry from an early dispersal of modern humans; instead, their modern human ancestry is consistent with coming from the same source as that of other non-Africans.

TL;DR: Exome sequencing of a single cohort of 2,871 CHD probands, including 2,645 parent–offspring trios, implicated rare inherited mutations in 1.8%, and DNMs in ∼440 genes were inferred to contribute to CHD.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Indian castes are most likely to be of proto-Asian origin with West Eurasian admixture resulting in rank-related and sex-specific differences in the genetic affinities of castes to Asians and Europeans.

TL;DR: These results set a minimum for the number of markers that must be tested to make strong inferences about detecting population structure among Old World populations under ideal experimental conditions and note that, whereas some proxies correspond crudely, if at all, to population structure, the heuristic value of others is much higher.

TL;DR: The selective constraints of deletions versus duplications were compared to understand population stratification in the context of the ancestral human genome and to assess differences in CNV load between African and non-African populations.
