We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old
hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300
individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base …

Understanding the genetic structure of the European population is important, not only from a
historical perspective, but also for the appropriate design and interpretation of genetic …

A number of applications of analysis of human Y-chromosome microsatellite loci to human
evolution and forensic science require reliable estimates of the mutation rate and knowledge …

Methods A total of 1060 individuals belonging to 52 worldwide-distributed populations were
genotyped at 12 highly informative variable sites, as well as for gene deletion and …

It is widely assumed that genes that influence variation in skin and hair pigmentation are
under selection. To date, the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is the only gene identified that …

INTRODUCTION Most studies of human genetic variation have focused on single-nucleotide
variants (SNVs). However, copy-number variants (CNVs) affect more base pairs of DNA …

During the past few years the DNA commission of the International Society of Forensic
Genetics has published a series of documents providing guidelines and recommendations …

The ISFG membership consists of scientists and medical professionals specialized in using
genetic testing for kinship analysis and the individualization of biological material. This …

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 …
