Population replacements in Armenia and Iran over the past 7000 years

ABSTRACT We present genetic evidence of multiple demographic changes in Armenia and western Iran over the past 7000 years. By about 3000 years ago descendants of the 7000-year-old Chalcolithic Zagrosian herders, hereinafter referred to as Iran-CHL, along with their likely Elamo-Dravidian languages were gradually replaced by invading “Aryan” warriors from around the ancient Ariana (Airyanem …

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 …

Alternate methods of analysis using ADMIXTURE & PCAs

The use of PCAs and ADMIXTURE program is widespread in the study of population histories, although the most common way those programs are used, using all available SNPs, including common variants, pruned for maximizing the genotype rate among samples in the dataset, may not be best for accurately inferring shared drift amongst populations. Here I …
