Genetic Relationships of Asian Populations using Whole Genome Sequencing

abstract To date there has been very limited analysis on Asian population histories using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Most population history genetics studies only utilize a few hundred thousand SNPs, which is small fraction of the genetic variation in humans. This small fraction of the genetics variation is ascertained using certain populations. An example are …

Elevated Eurasian Steppe Ancestry in Kurds

Here I investigate how much more genetic drift Kurds share with various ancient Eurasian Steppe samples, in comparison with some of their geographic neighbors. I do this formally using D-Statistics (Dstats) from ADMIXTOOLS1, a software bundle, readily available from the Reich Labs website at Harvard University. ADMIXTOOLS has been fully described in Patterson et al, …
