Genetic surfing describes the spatial spread and increase in frequency of variants that are not
lost by genetic drift and serial migrant sampling during a range expansion. Genetic surfing …

The origin of new genes through gene duplication is fundamental to the evolution of lineage-
or species-specific phenotypic traits. In this report, we estimate the number of functional …

We introduce a flexible and robust simulation-based framework to infer demographic parameters
from the site frequency spectrum (SFS) computed on large genomic datasets. We show …

We present a new approach for defining groups of populations that are geographically
homogeneous and maximally differentiated from each other. As a by‐product, it also leads to the …

• Here, palaeobotanical and genetic data for common beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Europe
are used to evaluate the genetic consequences of long‐term survival in refuge areas and …

The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we
generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama–Nyungan …

Given that retroposed copies of genes are presumed to lack the regulatory elements
required for their expression, retroposition has long been considered a mechanism without …

The domestication of the horse ∼5.5 kya and the emergence of mounted riding, chariotry,
and cavalry dramatically transformed human civilization. However, the genetics underlying …

The energy resolution of the barrel part of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter has been
studied using electrons of 20 to 250 GeV in a test beam. The incident electron's energy was …

During the late Pleistocene, early anatomically modern humans coexisted in Europe with
the anatomically archaic Neandertals for some thousand years. Under the recent variants of …
