    Congrats and immense thanks to and our other archaeological and anthropological coauthors working in and from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Russia, and Pakistan. (And elsewhere! , , , )

    RT to spread the word! If you study human aDNA, this new planned SNP panel should be of interest. Email us or one of the group with suggestions, or to have us let you know when it’s available: info@arborbiosci.com

    - renewing earlier call for SNP suggestions for upcoming publicly available reagent (updated 1240k plus other modular content). window open for next 1-2 months. - closing note on importance of clean outgroup ascertainment especially for African research

    Kaifu presents an incredible example of experimental at - three different Paleolithic style boats used to test colonization of Southwestern Japanese islands 30,000 years ago. Reed, bamboo, dug-outs boats constructed and sailed thanks to crowdfunding!

    Tambets, Metspalu and colleagues present a genome-wide analysis of relatedness between populations speaking Uralic languages. Most share ancestors with Siberian populations, but Hungarians and Estonians are more similar to their neighbors

    - some cool forthcoming results (also ) from the 12.4 ka BP Tumat dog from Ust-Yansky ulus, / - special features of : insight into in vivo activity, could be useful for metagenomics as transcriptome = smaller target, RNA viruses

    2. It would be interesting to quantify (and in an ideal world apportion amongst donor sources) the Siberian admixture in self-identified Russians with deepest-reaching residence time in colonial territories like Yakutia.

    1. I wonder if there’s an “HGDP Sardinian” sample choice effect here. See, e.g., Sunderland, W. (1996). Russians into Iakuts? "Going Native" and Problems of Russian National Identity in the Siberian North, 1870s-1914. Slavic Review, 55(4): 806–825.

    - argued signatures of colonization-driven selection in Yakuts in the few centuries since Russian arrival - and of epigenomic impacts

    Negligible Russian admixture in the modern Yakut population (at least these reference data).
