The paternal and maternal genetic history of Vietnamese populations

This study analyzes mtDNA and Y chromosome sequences from Vietnamese populations to reveal genetic diversity patterns not correlated with geography or language, highlighting isolation and limited contact as major factors.

Sharing of heteroplasmies between human liver lobes varies across the mtDNA genome

The paper examines mtDNA heteroplasmy sharing between human liver lobes, finding higher sharing in the control region and suggesting selection influences this pattern.

Contrasting paternal and maternal genetic histories of Thai and Lao populations

The paper analyzes paternal and maternal genetic histories of Thai and Lao populations, finding contrasting patterns of male and female genetic variation and demographic expansions.

Cultural Innovations influence patterns of genetic diversity in Northwestern Amazonia

The paper analyzes NRY and mtDNA data from Northwestern Amazonia to show how cultural practices like exogamy and residential rules influence genetic diversity patterns and demographic history.

New insights from Thailand into the maternal genetic history of Mainland Southeast Asia

The paper analyzes additional mtDNA sequences from Thailand and Laos to explore the genetic history of Tai-Kadai and Sino-Tibetan-speaking populations in Mainland Southeast Asia, finding evidence for both demic diffusion and admixture.

Contrasting maternal and paternal genetic variation of hunter-gatherer groups in Thailand

The paper analyzes maternal and paternal genetic variation in Thai hunter-gatherer groups, finding distinct haplogroup patterns and suggesting a recent origin for the Mlabri population.

Refining the Y chromosome phylogeny with southern African sequences

This paper analyzes Y chromosome sequences from southern African populations to refine the human Y chromosome phylogeny, identifying new haplogroups and estimating older divergence dates.
