An iPSC-based experimental framework for investigating phenotypic variation associated with Jomon ancestry in the present-day Japanese population

Yuka Nakamura, Yusuke Watanabe, Hideyuki Tanabe…·Hiroki Oota

The paper develops a hiPSC-based framework to study ancestry-related phenotypic variation in the Japanese population, finding no hepatic triglyceride differences despite genetic associations.

Female-biased continental farmer ancestry contribution to the modern Japanese genome

Yusuke Watanabe, Yoshiki Wakiyama, Jun Ohashi, Hiroki Oota

The paper investigates the sex bias in admixture between Jomon hunter-gatherers and continental farmers in modern Japanese genomes, finding a female-biased contribution from continental farmers.
