Towards a new history and geography of human genes informed by ancient DNA

Joseph Pickrell, David Reich

This paper argues for re-evaluating current views of human migration and adaptation using ancient DNA to directly track population movements and responses to natural selection.

Joint analysis of functional genomic data and genome-wide association studies of 18 human traits

Joseph Pickrell

The paper develops a statistical model to identify genomic elements enriched or depleted for SNPs associated with 18 human traits, finding that repressed chromatin is depleted and cell-type-specific DNase-I sites are enriched for trait-associated SNPs.
