This study examines ancient genomes reveal Basal Asian ancestries and dynamic population interactions over time on the southern Tibetan Plateau. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
This study examines an early East Asian lineage with unexpectedly low Denisovan ancestry. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within japan, ainu, ryukyu and the jomon.
This study examines origins and Dispersal of the Zongri Culture Population: An Ancient DNA Perspective. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
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.
This study examines from bones to sediments: ancient human DNA from open-air archaeological sites. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
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.
This study examines genetic legacy of ancient hunter-gatherer Jomon in Japanese populations. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.

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.
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.
This study examines ancient genomes revealed the complex human interactions of the ancient western Tibetans. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
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.

East and Southeast Asian hominin dispersal and evolution: A review
This study examines east and Southeast Asian hominin dispersal and evolution: A review. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within tibetan, qiangic and himalayan populations.
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.
This study examines an update and frequency distribution of Y chromosome haplogroups in modern Japanese males. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within japan, ainu, ryukyu and the jomon.
This study examines whole mitochondrial genome analysis in highland Tibetans: further matrilineal genetic structure exploration. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within tibetan, qiangic and himalayan populations.
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.
This study examines ancient genomes reveal millet farming-related demic diffusion from the Yellow River into southwest China. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within d-m174 and y-chromosome phylogeny.
