We examined genetic variation on the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome (NRY)
to investigate the paternal population structure of indigenous Siberian groups and to …

We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old
hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300
individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base …

INTRODUCTION The consensus view on the peopling of the Americas is that ancestors of
modern Native Americans entered the Americas from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge and …

INTRODUCTION Most studies of human genetic variation have focused on single-nucleotide
variants (SNVs). However, copy-number variants (CNVs) affect more base pairs of DNA …

Haplotypes constructed from Y-chromosome markers were used to trace the origins of Native
Americans. Our sample consisted of 2,198 males from 60 global populations, including 19 …

Background We studied the molecular basis of NSHL in Republic of Altai (South Siberia,
Russia). The Altaians are the indigenous Asian population of the Altai Mountain region …

Hereditary forms of hearing impairment (HI) caused by GJB2 (Cx26) mutations are the
frequent sensory disorders registered among newborns in various human populations. In this …

Five polymorphisms involving two paternally inherited loci were surveyed in 38 world populations
(n= 1,631) to investigate the origins of Native Americans. One of the six Y chromosome …

One of the most common forms of genetic deafness has been predominantly associated
with pathogenic variants in the GJB2 gene, encoding transmembrane protein connexin 26 (Cx26…
