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 …

Ancient DNA makes it possible to observe natural selection directly by analysing samples
from populations before, during and after adaptation events. Here we report a genome-wide …

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 …

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 …

To fill remaining gaps in mitochondrial DNA diversity in the least surveyed eastern and
western flanks of Siberia, 391 mtDNA samples (144 Tubalar from Altai, 87 Even from …

The patterns of prehistoric migrations across the Bering Land Bridge are far from being
completely understood: there still exists a significant gap in our knowledge of the population …

The arrival of farming in Europe beginning around 8,500 years ago required adaptation to
new environments, pathogens, diets, and social organizations. While evidence of natural …

Our data first represent the variety of Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) mutations
in Western Siberia. LHON is a disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the mitochondrial …

The North Eurasian forest and forest-steppe zones have sustained millennia of sociocultural
connections among northern peoples. We present genome-wide ancient DNA data for 181 …

The Central Siberian Plateau was the last geographic area in Eurasia to become habitable
by modern humans after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Through a comprehensive dataset …
