Abstract Knowledge of genome-wide genealogies for thousands of individuals would
simplify most evolutionary analyses for humans and other species, but has remained …

Whole-genome sequences provide a rich source of information about human evolution.
Here we describe an effort to estimate key evolutionary parameters based on the whole …

Large data sets on human genetic variation have been collected recently, but their
usefulness for learning about history and natural selection has been limited by biases in the …

Genome-wide patterns of variation across individuals provide a powerful source of data for
uncovering the history of migration, range expansion, and adaptation of the human species …

The history of human population size is important for understanding human evolution.
Various studies,,,, have found evidence for a founder event (bottleneck) in East Asian and …

Genome-wide genealogies compactly represent the evolutionary history of a set of genomes
and inferring them from genetic data has the potential to facilitate a wide range of analyses …

The availability of complete human genome sequences from populations across the world
has given rise to new population genetic inference methods that explicitly model ancestral …

Variation in the human genome sequence is key to understanding susceptibility to disease
in modern populations and the history of ancestral populations. Unlocking this information …

High-throughput genotyping data are useful for making inferences about human
evolutionary history. However, the populations sampled to date are unevenly distributed …

Abstract The 1000 Genomes Project aims to provide a deep characterisation of human
genome sequence variation as a foundation for investigating the relationship between …
