Over the past 50 years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our
species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity …

Gene flow between previously differentiated populations during the founding of an admixed
or hybrid population has the potential to introduce adaptive alleles into the new population. If …

Highlanders and lowlanders of Papua New Guinea have faced distinct environmental stress,
such as hypoxia and environment-specific pathogen exposure, respectively. In this study, we …

Callicarpa subpubescens, endemic to the Ogasawara Islands, is suggested to have multiple
ecotypes in the Hahajima Islands, specifically in the central part of the Ogasawara Islands. In …

Large numbers of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) have recently been identified in
humans, and many of these regulatory variants have large allele frequency differences …

Leukocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)‐like receptors (LILR) LILRB1 and LILRB2 may play a pivotal
role in maintaining self‐tolerance and modulating the immune response through interaction …

The wild boar (Sus scrofa meridionalis) arrived in Sardinia with the first human settlers in the
early Neolithic with the potential to hybridize with the domestic pig (S. s. domesticus) …

Genomic composition of present-day human populations has been shaped by past
demographic events such as migrations, bottlenecks, founder events and admixing of …

While parallel evolution, the repeated evolution of similar traits in related taxa, provides
important insights into the mechanisms and constraints underlying evolution, whether …

Successful adaptation to the high-elevation Andes would have required both cultural and
biological adaptations by early human populations. These past adaptations continue to …
