Daniel Blumstein recently sat in a Colorado meadow waiting for yellow-bellied marmots to appear, as the ecologist and evolutionary biologist had done many times before, the New York Times reported. Bu...

The authors present Gnomix, a local ancestry framework that delivers leading accuracy across diverse admixed datasets on both whole-genome and array data with high efficiency, together with Gnofix, it...

Two decades after the Human Genome Project, we finally have the ability to read the complete genome of any human and (nearly) any species. These sequences provide the ideal foundation for training pre...

The spatial organization of early Homo sapiens populations in North Africa during Marine Isotope Stage 5 (MIS 5) remains a key question for understanding past demographic and cultural dynamics. Climat...

In the mid-19th century, St Helena became a key receiving point for Africans “liberated” from illegal slave ships by the British Royal Navy. Of the ~27,000 landed, ~8000 died soon after arrival and we...

Protein data from the Rising Star cave system show the known sample of this species is entirely female.

Abstract. The classic theory of mutation-selection balance predicts the equilibrium frequency of genetic variation under negative selection. The model pred

A Yale-led study of genomes from Near Oceania reveals a complex population history and evidence that DNA inherited from extinct hominins continues to influence human biology today.

Abstract. Following introgression, Neanderthal DNA was initially purged from non-African genomes, but the evolutionary fate of remaining introgressed DNA i

This Collection invites submissions that use ancient or modern genetic data to explore human population history, admixture, and health. Submissions are encouraged by 28 February 2027.

El análisis genético de los enterrados en una maqbara de Ibiza desvela que la mayoría tenían ancestros tanto europeos como norteafricanos

Genomic analysis of Peruvians populations reveals how admixture and recent migrations shaped genetic diversity, fine-scale structure, and sex-biased ancestry in the context of urban areas.

Ibiza, an island in present-day Spain, was under Islamic rule between the 10th and 13th centuries CE. Here, the authors analyse the remains of thirteen individuals from medieval Islamic burials in Ibi...
