TLDR
Recent studies involving Y-chromosomal haplotyping and surname analysis are promising and indicate that genealogists of the future could be turning to records written in DNA, as well as in paper archives, to solve their problems.

Recent human history: inferences from the Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Y-chromosome markers and sequence information from the mitochondrial genome to address several questions formulated from written sources and oral tradition relating to the recent history of populations in the British Isles and Africa.

Apellidos, familias y linajes moleculares: el caso de Azampay, Catamarca

TL;DR: The objective was to identify the American and Non American components in this population, to reconstruct the migration history and compare the molecular lineages with genealogies based on official records and oral history.

Population genetic diversity in an Iraqi population and gene flow across the Arabian Peninsula.

TL;DR: Y-STR data were used to test different out-of-Africa migration models as well as more recent migrations within the Arabian Peninsula, demonstrating that gene flow to Iraq began from East Africa, with the Levantine corridor the most probable passageway out of Africa.

La genealogía descendente de María de Aguilar: evidencia del mestizaje colonial temprano en Costa Rica

TL;DR: The genealogy of Maria de Aguilar as mentioned in this paper suggests that an Amerindian gene flow had occurred into the Spanish group during the first generations of colonial society, and this conclusion do not support the current idea that the Spanish elite avoided interethnic marriages.

Han Chinese males with surnames related to the legendary Huang and Yan Emperors are enriched for the top two Neolithic super-grandfather Y chromosomes O3a2c1a and O3a1c, respectively

TL;DR: Results are remarkably consistent with historical writings on Yan and Huang and suggest that tales of Yan-Huang and their related-Xings and surnames may not be unrealistic.

Median-joining networks for inferring intraspecific phylogenies.

TL;DR: A method for constructing networks from recombination-free population data that combines features of Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees by favoring short connections, and Farris's maximum-parsimony (MP) heuristic algorithm, which sequentially adds new vertices called "median vectors", except that the MJ method does not resolve ties.

Tandem repeats finder: a program to analyze DNA sequences

TL;DR: A new algorithm for finding tandem repeats which works without the need to specify either the pattern or pattern size is presented and its ability to detect tandem repeats that have undergone extensive mutational change is demonstrated.

Sequence the Human Genome

TL;DR: This book aims to provide a history of Chinese modern art from 17th Century to the present day through the lens of 20th Century critics, practitioners, journalists, and mediaeval and modern-day critics.
