The EHG remnants (Choynovtinskaya) that survived the IE expansion north in the early Bronze Age (Fatyanovo-Balanovo) still appear to have only mixed with the Saami & pre-Permics du...
If you ask a population genetics guru to list the most interesting, unusual peoples in Europe they'll tell you all about the Saami, the Sardinians, the Basques. These groups are in...
New note on my archaeogenetics blog. Taking a look at the ancestry profile of the Swat Protohistoric samples: differences in Y-DNA and autosomal profile. Pure BMAC/Oxus ancestry...

BREAKING 🧀🧀🧀... From the newly released TGA FOI document 2389 unredacted. It was never about the protein expression... It was about "how many cells can we transfect?" Gene ther...
Genetic Profile of a Kanyakubja Brahmin from Varanasi. Indus Valley = 43.5% Steppe MLBA (Uzbekistan) = 32.5% Ancestral Indian/Andaman = 24% These are the private results of a goo...
@mydearspock12 @TheRajarshi You are being cynical & dismissive for the sake of it. Not sure why you are tying ancestral lineage to irrelevant genetic markers. Someone hails from a...

@DrCamRx @jakozloski Some time ago, I think (maybe?) from @hsu_steve or Laurent Tellier at a talk, I heard the idea of doing backwards-looking GWAS on, say, huge cohorts of top g-l...
Need more DNA samples of 96K Marathas from Maharashtra. Think there are none currently. The ones from Narasimhan study are from South India so not even representative.
Hello Devdutt, Arctic has nothing to do with the Indian ancestry - past or present. https://t.co/TB4Fqk1pEX
More samples from Golestan (around Gorgan on map below) show Indo-European (or maybe a different EHG-rich group?) presence by 3100 BC. Two had Y haplogroup J, one T1a. Authors beli...
