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 …

Genome-sequencing studies indicate that all humans carry many genetic variants predicted
to cause loss of function (LoF) of protein-coding genes, suggesting unexpected redundancy …

The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic showed the speed with which a novel respiratory virus
can spread and the ability of a generally mild infection to induce severe morbidity and …

Gorillas are humans’ closest living relatives after chimpanzees, and are of comparable
importance for the study of human origins and evolution. Here we present the assembly and …

We have identified a Y-chromosomal lineage with several unusual features. It was found in
16 populations throughout a large region of Asia, stretching from the Pacific to the Caspian …

Large-scale systematic resequencing has been proposed as the key future strategy for the
discovery of rare, disease-causing sequence variants across the spectrum of human complex …

Given the importance of Africa to studies of human origins and disease susceptibility, detailed
characterization of African genetic diversity is needed. The African Genome Variation …

The number and volume of cells in the blood affect a wide range of disorders including cancer
and cardiovascular, metabolic, infectious and immune conditions. We consider here the …

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 …

The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we
generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama–Nyungan …
