DeMoDa provides an open-access database of 17,308 human dental traits across 32 regions, enabling comparative research on dental morphology and its genetic basis.

This study analyzes eight high-coverage Jomon genomes to reveal genetic continuity and phenotypic traits of ancient Japanese hunter-gatherers, showing their genetic influence on present-day Japanese populations.

The paper examines postnatal shape changes in the human endocranium and brain structures using MRI, finding that relative size changes in brain regions constrain endocranial morphology.

This study presents high-coverage genomes from Yayoi and Jomon individuals, revealing genetic differences and dietary adaptations linked to agricultural practices in ancient Japan.

The paper analyzes the genome of a Jomon individual to infer migration patterns into East Asia, finding multiple waves and a coastal route from Southeast Asia.
