The complete genome sequence of a Neanderthal from the Altai Mountains
We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neanderthal woman from Siberia. We
show that her parents were related at the level of half-siblings and that mating among close …

The Simons genome diversity project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations
Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300

Insights into human genetic variation and population history from 929 diverse genomes
INTRODUCTION Large-scale human genome-sequencing studies to date have been limited
to large, metropolitan populations or to small numbers of genomes from each group. Much …

Ancient admixture in human history
Population mixture is an important process in biology. We present a suite of methods for
learning about population mixtures, implemented in a software package called ADMIXTOOLS, …

[HTML][HTML] Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia
Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have
sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual …

Massive migration from the steppe was a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000–3,000 years
ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms. …

A high-coverage genome sequence from an archaic Denisovan individual
We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-coverage
(30×) genome sequence of a Denisovan, an extinct relative of Neandertals. The quality …

Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
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 …

Genome-wide patterns of selection in 230 ancient Eurasians
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 …

The genomic landscape of Neanderthal ancestry in present-day humans
Genomic studies have shown that Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, and that
non-Africans today are the products of this mixture 1 , 2 . The antiquity of Neanderthal gene …
