Human genetic history on the Tibetan Plateau in the past 5100 years
This study examines human genetic history on the Tibetan Plateau in the past 5100 years. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within tibetan, qiangic and himalayan populations.
The settlement of the Tibetan Plateau epitomizes human adaptation to a high-altitude environment that poses great challenges to human activity. Here, we reconstruct a 4000-year maternal genetic history of Tibetans using 128 ancient mitochondrial genome data from 37 sites in Tibet. The phylogeny of haplotypes M9a1a, M9a1b, D4g2, G2a’c, and D4i show that ancient Tibetans share the most recent common ancestor with ancient Middle and Upper Yellow River populations around the Early and Middle Holocene.
This study examines genetic admixture history and forensic characteristics of Tibeto-Burman-speaking Qiang people explored via the newly developed Y-STR panel and genome-wide SNP data. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
This study examines northeastern Asian and Jomon-related genetic structure in the Three Kingdoms period of Gimhae, Korea. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
The Tibetan plateau and high mountain ranges of Nepal are one of the challenging geographical regions inhabited by modern humans. While much of the ethnographic and population-based genetic studies were carried out to investigate the Tibetan and Sherpa highlanders, little is known about the demographic processes that enabled the colonization of the hilly areas of Nepal.
This study examines genetic Substructure of Three Isolated Populations in Southwest China. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within population context and comparative evidence.
This study examines ancient genomes from the Himalayas illuminate the genetic history of Tibetans and their Tibeto-Burman speaking neighbors. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.

Ancient genomics reveals tripartite origins of Japanese populations
This study examines ancient genomics reveals tripartite origins of Japanese populations. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within ancient dna and archaeogenomics.
This study examines population dynamics in the Japanese Archipelago since the Pleistocene revealed by the complete mitochondrial genome sequences. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within japan, ainu, ryukyu and the jomon.
This study examines genetic reconstruction and phylogenetic analysis by 193 Y‐SNPs and 27 Y‐STRs in a Chinese Yi ethnic group. It is catalogued here as comparative evidence within tibetan, qiangic and himalayan populations.
Reports the entire mitochondrial genome and partial nuclear genome of an Initial Jomon individual from the Higashimyo shell midden in Saga, Kyushu. Comparison with Jomon genomes spanning the Initial to Final periods supports genetic continuity within the Japanese archipelago alongside regional differentiation.
Nomadic groups of conquering Hungarians played a predominant role in Hungarian prehistory, but genetic data are available only from the immigrant elite strata. Most of the 10-11th century remains in the Carpathian Basin belong to common people, whose origin and relation to the immigrant elite have been widely debated. Mitogenome sequences were obtained from 202 individuals with next generation sequencing combined with hybridization capture.
For many years of Japan ’s long history, Japanese surnames have been handed down patrilineally. This study investigated relations between major surnames and Y chromosomal polymorphism among the Japanese male population. To analyze genetic phylogeny in namesakes, the Y-single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) plus Y-short tandem repeat (STR) approach was employed.
