    Proportionally more deleterious genetic variation in European than in African populations (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-02-22
    Description: Quantifying the number of deleterious mutations per diploid human genome is of crucial concern to both evolutionary and medical geneticists. Here we combine genome-wide polymorphism data from PCR-based exon resequencing, comparative genomic data across mammalian species, and protein structure predictions to estimate the number of functionally consequential single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) carried by each of 15 African American (AA) and 20 European American (EA) individuals. We find that AAs show significantly higher levels of nucleotide heterozygosity than do EAs for all categories of functional SNPs considered, including synonymous, non-synonymous, predicted 'benign', predicted 'possibly damaging' and predicted 'probably damaging' SNPs. This result is wholly consistent with previous work showing higher overall levels of nucleotide variation in African populations than in Europeans. EA individuals, in contrast, have significantly more genotypes homozygous for the derived allele at synonymous and non-synonymous SNPs and for the damaging allele at 'probably damaging' SNPs than AAs do. For SNPs segregating only in one population or the other, the proportion of non-synonymous SNPs is significantly higher in the EA sample (55.4%) than in the AA sample (47.0%; P 〈 2.3 x 10(-37)). We observe a similar proportional excess of SNPs that are inferred to be 'probably damaging' (15.9% in EA; 12.1% in AA; P 〈 3.3 x 10(-11)). Using extensive simulations, we show that this excess proportion of segregating damaging alleles in Europeans is probably a consequence of a bottleneck that Europeans experienced at about the time of the migration out of Africa.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2923434/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2923434/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lohmueller, Kirk E -- Indap, Amit R -- Schmidt, Steffen -- Boyko, Adam R -- Hernandez, Ryan D -- Hubisz, Melissa J -- Sninsky, John J -- White, Thomas J -- Sunyaev, Shamil R -- Nielsen, Rasmus -- Clark, Andrew G -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- P50 GM065509/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 GM065509-070006/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003229-03/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL072904/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Feb 21;451(7181):994-7. doi: 10.1038/nature06611.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18288194" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An Aboriginal Australian genome reveals separate human dispersals into Asia (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-09-24
    Description: We present an Aboriginal Australian genomic sequence obtained from a 100-year-old lock of hair donated by an Aboriginal man from southern Western Australia in the early 20th century. We detect no evidence of European admixture and estimate contamination levels to be below 0.5%. We show that Aboriginal Australians are descendants of an early human dispersal into eastern Asia, possibly 62,000 to 75,000 years ago. This dispersal is separate from the one that gave rise to modern Asians 25,000 to 38,000 years ago. We also find evidence of gene flow between populations of the two dispersal waves prior to the divergence of Native Americans from modern Asian ancestors. Our findings support the hypothesis that present-day Aboriginal Australians descend from the earliest humans to occupy Australia, likely representing one of the oldest continuous populations outside Africa.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3991479/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3991479/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rasmussen, Morten -- Guo, Xiaosen -- Wang, Yong -- Lohmueller, Kirk E -- Rasmussen, Simon -- Albrechtsen, Anders -- Skotte, Line -- Lindgreen, Stinus -- Metspalu, Mait -- Jombart, Thibaut -- Kivisild, Toomas -- Zhai, Weiwei -- Eriksson, Anders -- Manica, Andrea -- Orlando, Ludovic -- De La Vega, Francisco M -- Tridico, Silvana -- Metspalu, Ene -- Nielsen, Kasper -- Avila-Arcos, Maria C -- Moreno-Mayar, J Victor -- Muller, Craig -- Dortch, Joe -- Gilbert, M Thomas P -- Lund, Ole -- Wesolowska, Agata -- Karmin, Monika -- Weinert, Lucy A -- Wang, Bo -- Li, Jun -- Tai, Shuaishuai -- Xiao, Fei -- Hanihara, Tsunehiko -- van Driem, George -- Jha, Aashish R -- Ricaut, Francois-Xavier -- de Knijff, Peter -- Migliano, Andrea B -- Gallego Romero, Irene -- Kristiansen, Karsten -- Lambert, David M -- Brunak, Soren -- Forster, Peter -- Brinkmann, Bernd -- Nehlich, Olaf -- Bunce, Michael -- Richards, Michael -- Gupta, Ramneek -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Krogh, Anders -- Foley, Robert A -- Lahr, Marta M -- Balloux, Francois -- Sicheritz-Ponten, Thomas -- Villems, Richard -- Nielsen, Rasmus -- Wang, Jun -- Willerslev, Eske -- BB/H005854/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- BB/H008802/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- R01 HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Oct 7;334(6052):94-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1211177.

    Genome-wide SNP and haplotype analyses reveal a rich history underlying dog domestication (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-03-20
    Description: Advances in genome technology have facilitated a new understanding of the historical and genetic processes crucial to rapid phenotypic evolution under domestication. To understand the process of dog diversification better, we conducted an extensive genome-wide survey of more than 48,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in dogs and their wild progenitor, the grey wolf. Here we show that dog breeds share a higher proportion of multi-locus haplotypes unique to grey wolves from the Middle East, indicating that they are a dominant source of genetic diversity for dogs rather than wolves from east Asia, as suggested by mitochondrial DNA sequence data. Furthermore, we find a surprising correspondence between genetic and phenotypic/functional breed groupings but there are exceptions that suggest phenotypic diversification depended in part on the repeated crossing of individuals with novel phenotypes. Our results show that Middle Eastern wolves were a critical source of genome diversity, although interbreeding with local wolf populations clearly occurred elsewhere in the early history of specific lineages. More recently, the evolution of modern dog breeds seems to have been an iterative process that drew on a limited genetic toolkit to create remarkable phenotypic diversity.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494089/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494089/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vonholdt, Bridgett M -- Pollinger, John P -- Lohmueller, Kirk E -- Han, Eunjung -- Parker, Heidi G -- Quignon, Pascale -- Degenhardt, Jeremiah D -- Boyko, Adam R -- Earl, Dent A -- Auton, Adam -- Reynolds, Andy -- Bryc, Kasia -- Brisbin, Abra -- Knowles, James C -- Mosher, Dana S -- Spady, Tyrone C -- Elkahloun, Abdel -- Geffen, Eli -- Pilot, Malgorzata -- Jedrzejewski, Wlodzimierz -- Greco, Claudia -- Randi, Ettore -- Bannasch, Danika -- Wilton, Alan -- Shearman, Jeremy -- Musiani, Marco -- Cargill, Michelle -- Jones, Paul G -- Qian, Zuwei -- Huang, Wei -- Ding, Zhao-Li -- Zhang, Ya-Ping -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Ostrander, Elaine A -- Novembre, John -- Wayne, Robert K -- R01 GM083606/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-01/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-03/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):898-902. doi: 10.1038/nature08837.
