The population history of northeastern Siberia since the Pleistocene
Northeastern Siberia has been inhabited by humans for more than 40,000 years but its deep
population history remains poorly understood. Here we investigate the late Pleistocene …

Genes reveal traces of common recent demographic history for most of the Uralic-speaking populations
Background The genetic origins of Uralic speakers from across a vast territory in the
temperate zone of North Eurasia have remained elusive. Previous studies have shown …

Detecting polygenic adaptation in admixture graphs
Polygenic adaptation occurs when natural selection changes the average value of a
complex trait in a population, via small shifts in allele frequencies at many loci. Here …
