Ancient Mitogenomes from Belize Provide Insights into the Mobility and Migration of Ancient Communities in Mesoamerica and the Caribbean.

The paper analyzes ancient mitogenomes from Belize to study maternal genetic continuity and mobility patterns among ancient Maya populations and their relation to present-day communities.

A Multiethnic Analysis of DNA Methylation Reveals Links Between Alzheimer's Disease and Metabolic Comorbidities

The paper identifies CpG sites with methylation differences linked to Alzheimer's disease and metabolic comorbidities in Mexican American and Non-Hispanic White populations.

Recovering the pre-colonial population structure of Khoe-San descendant populations

The paper analyzes genetic ancestry in South African Coloured groups to reveal persistent Khoe-San ancestry and traces Indian Ocean slave trade signatures.

Whole genome sequencing of 76 Mexican Indigenous reveals recent selection signatures linked to pathogens and diet adaptation.

This study uses whole genome sequencing of 76 Mexican Indigenous individuals to identify natural selection signatures linked to pathogens and diet adaptation across three geographic regions.

EpipwR: Efficient Power Analysis for EWAS withContinuous Outcomes

EpipwR provides efficient power analysis for epigenome-wide association studies with continuous outcomes, using a quasi-simulated approach and empirical datasets.

Slave Trade and Colonial Expansion Resulted in Strong Sex-Biased Admixture in South Africa

The paper uses genetic data to show sex-biased admixture patterns in South Africa due to colonial migration, with European males and Khoe-San females contributing disproportionately to different regions.

Whole mitogenome analysis highlights demographic history and shared connections among distal Indigenous groups of Mexico Complete mitogenome sequencing from 60 Mexican Native American groups

The paper analyzes complete mitogenomes from 60 Mexican Indigenous groups to reveal demographic history and shared genetic connections.

Hunter-gatherer genomes reveal diverse demographic trajectories following the rise of farming in East Africa

The paper analyzes genomic data from the Chabu, a hunter-gatherer group in Ethiopia, revealing a population bottleneck and diverse demographic responses to agropastoralism in East Africa.

Ancient DNA reconstructs the genetic legacies of pre-contact Puerto Rico communities

This study uses ancient DNA to reconstruct the genetic legacies of pre-contact Puerto Rico communities, finding Native American mtDNA haplogroups and shared ancestry with the Bahamas.
