Ancestry informative markers for fine-scale individual assignment to worldwide populations (2010, unknown): “As evidenced from fossil records and population genetics studies, anatomically modern humans first appeared in Africa, some 200,000-150,000 years ago [1, 2, 3].”
Deleterious- and disease-allele prevalence in healthy individuals: insights from current predictions, mutation databases, and population-scale resequencing. (2012, background): “Derived missense-allele numbers per individual ranged from ~13,000 (range 1⁄4 12,253–13,868) for the YRI (Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria) samples to ~12,000 (range 1⁄4 11,715– 12,439 for CEU [Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe from the CEPH collection] and 11,197–12,352 for CHB”
A Map of Recent Positive Selection in the Human Genome (2006, background): “Increased population density promoted the spread of infectious diseases, as did the new proximity of farmers to animal pathogens [1,2].”
An overview of STRUCTURE: applications, parameter settings, and supporting software (2013, background): “…population reference samples and CEPH panel samples from the same predeﬁned population analysed with STRUCTURE nearly always share similar membership coefﬁcients in inferred clusters (Pritchard et al., 2000a; Rosenberg et al., 2002; Jobling et al., 2004; Enoch et al., 2006; Abdulla et al., 2009).”
