Maternal genetic architecture of Guizhou’s Hmong-Mien populations via whole mitogenome

The Hmong-Mien (HM) language family, majorly distributed across southern China and Southeast Asia, has remained underexplored in population genetics, particularly concerning whole mitogenome studies. In this study, we sequenced the whole mitogenomes of 261 individuals from Guizhou Hmong-Mien-speaking pop - ulations (HM-G), comprising Miao, Yao, and She individuals.

YHSeqY3000 panel captures all founding lineages in the Chinese paternal genomic diversity database

Background The advancements in second-/third-generation sequencing technologies, alongside computational innovations, have significantly enhanced our understanding of the genomic structure of Y-chromosomes and their unique phylogenetic characteristics. These researches, despite the challenges posed by the lack of population-scale genomic databases, have the potential to revolutionize our approach to high-resolution, population-specific Y-chromosome panels and databases for anthropological and forensic applications.

Mitochondrial DNA Genomes Reveal Relaxed Purifying Selection During Human Population Expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum

This study examines mitochondrial DNA Genomes Reveal Relaxed Purifying Selection During Human Population Expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within tibetan, qiangic and himalayan populations.

High-coverage genome sequencing of Yayoi and Jomon individuals shed light on prehistoric human population history in East Eurasian

Presents high-coverage genomes from a Middle Yayoi individual and an Initial Jomon individual from mainland Japan. The study contrasts their population histories, genetic affinities and starch-related copy-number variation, providing genome-wide evidence for distinct ancestral backgrounds during the Yayoi transition.

Cold adaptation in Upper Paleolithic hunter‐gatherers of eastern Eurasia

Previous genomic studies understanding the dispersal of Homo sapiens have suggested that present-day East Eurasians and Native Americans can trace their ancestry to migrations from Southeast Asia. However, ineluctable adaptations during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remain unclear. By analyzing 42 genomes of up to 30-fold coverage from prehistoric hunter-gatherers, Jomon, we reveal their descent from Upper Paleolithic (UP) foragers who migrated to and isolated in the Japanese archipelago during Late Pleistocene.

Archeological sites dating back 30,000 years have been discovered throughout the Ryukyus and provided evidence for the migration of Homo sapiens across the sea during the late Pleistocene. A possible relationship to Southeast Asia is suggested, both from studies of artifacts and human remains. Subsequently, prehistoric people continued to inhabit at least several islands until the Holocene.

Y chromosome haplogroups are associated with birth size in Japanese men

The Y chromosome is classified into haplogroups (A-T) based on a combination of several DNA polymorphisms. Japanese men are mainly classified into haplogroups C, D, and O, which have been further subdivided. The distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroups varies by ethnicity.

Genomic formation of Tibeto-Burman speaking populations in Guizhou, Southwest China

Sino‐Tibetan is the most prominent language family in East Asia. Previous genetic studies mainly focused on the Tibetan and Han Chinese populations. However, due to the sparse sampling, the genetic structure and admix‐ ture history of Tibeto‐Burman‐speaking populations in the low‐altitude region of Southwest China still need to be clarified.
