Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each
parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. Cousin marriage or inbreeding …

Genetic polymorphism varies among species and within genomes, and has important
implications for the evolution and conservation of species. The determinants of this variation …

Long DNA segments shared between two individuals, known as identity-by-descent (IBD),
reveal recent genealogical connections. Here we introduce ancIBD, a method for identifying …

Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene,,,–.
Here, to investigate the cross-continental effects of these migrations, we shotgun-sequenced …

Analyses of data from genome-wide association studies on unrelated individuals have
shown that, for human traits and diseases, approximately one-third to two-thirds of …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

Haplotype phasing is a fundamental problem in medical and population genetics. Phasing is
generally performed via statistical phasing in a genotyped cohort, an approach that can yield …

Inferring changes in effective population size (N e) in the recent past is of special interest for
conservation of endangered species and for human history research. Current methods for …

Speciation rates vary considerably among lineages, and our understanding of what drives
the rapid succession of speciation events within young adaptive radiations remains …

Present-day hunter-gatherers (HGs) live in multilevel social groups essential to sustain a
population structure characterized by limited levels of within-band relatedness and …
