“…Genetic sex was determined for all 17 individuals (data file S1A), and all individuals exhibited low contamination (<6%; data file S1A), as estimated using mitochondrial DNA for all individuals ( 23 ) and the X chromosome for 10 males ( 24 ). For downstream population genetic analyses, we performed pseudo-haploid genotype calling (https://github.com/stschiff/sequenceTools; v1.5.2 last accessed at 25 April 2022) and concatenated our new genotype data with previously published genotype data for TAK001 ( 14 ) and other ancient ( 13 – 15 , 22 , 25 – 58 ) and present-day ( 25 , 29 , 59 – 63 ) individuals (data file S1B). We also attempted to assign uniparental haplogroups to each individual and successfully determined the mitochondrial haplogroup for 17 individuals and the Y-chromosome haplogroup for 6 of 10 males (data file S1A).…”

Genetic population structure of the Xiongnu Empire at imperial and local scales

The Xiongnu established the first nomadic imperial power, controlling the Eastern Eurasian steppe from ca. 200 BCE to 100 CE. Recent archaeogenetic studies identified extreme levels of genetic diversity across the empire, corroborating historical records of the Xiongnu Empire being multiethnic. However, it has remained unknown how this diversity was structured at the local community level or by sociopolitical status. To address this, we investigated aristocratic and local elite cemeteries at the western frontier of the empire. Analyzing genome-wide data from 18 individuals, we show that genetic diversity within these communities was comparable to the empire as a whole, and that high diversity was also observed within extended families. Genetic heterogeneity was highest among the lowest-status individuals, implying diverse origins, while higher-status individuals harbored less genetic diversity, suggesting that elite status and power was concentrated within specific subsets of the broader Xiongnu population.

“…The archeological evidence supported the interaction between the westward spread of millet agriculture and also the eastward spread of barley and wheat agriculture with population migration ( Zohary and Hopf, 1973 ; Medjugorac et al, 1994 ; Hemphill and Mallory, 2004 ; Saisho and Purugganan, 2007 ; Wang et al, 2016 ; De Barros Damgaard et al, 2018b ; Bento et al, 2018 ; Jeong et al, 2018 ). The Trans-Eurasian cultural and genetic exchanges have significantly influenced the demographic dynamics of Eurasian populations ( Peel and Talley, 1996 ; Khan et al, 2017 ; Miller et al, 2017 ; De Barros Damgaard et al, 2018a ; De Barros Damgaard et al, 2018b ; Damgaard et al, 2018 ; Antwerpen et al, 2019 ; Coulehan, 2020 ; Saint Onge and Brooks, 2020 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ). The EasternEurasian Forest steppe zone was genetically structured during the Pre-Bronze and Early Bronze Age, with a strong west-east admixture cline of ancestry stretching from Botai in central Kazakhstan to Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, and to the Devil’s Gate Cave in the Russian Far East ( Jeong et al, 2020 ).…”

Northwest China is a contacting region for East and West Eurasia and an important center for investigating the migration and admixture history of human populations. However, the comprehensive genetic structure and admixture history of the Altaic speaking populations and Hui group in Northwest China were still not fully characterized due to insufficient sampling and the lack of genome-wide data. Thus, We genotyped genome-wide SNPs for 140 individuals from five Chinese Mongolic, Turkic speaking groups including Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, and Salar, as well as the Hui group. Analysis based on allele-sharing and haplotype-sharing were used to elucidate the population history of Northwest Chinese populations, including PCA, ADMIXTURE, pairwise Fst genetic distance, f-statistics, qpWave/qpAdm and ALDER, fineSTRUCTURE and GLOBETROTTER. We observed Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, Salar, and Hui people were admixed populations deriving ancestry from both East and West Eurasians, with the proportions of West Eurasian related contributions ranging from 9 to 15%. The genetic admixture was probably driven by male-biased migration- showing a higher frequency of West Eurasian related Y chromosomal lineages than that of mtDNA detected in Northwest China. ALDER-based admixture and haplotype-based GLOBETROTTER showed this observed West Eurasian admixture signal was introduced into East Eurasia approximately 700 ∼1,000 years ago. Generally, our findings provided supporting evidence that the flourish transcontinental communication between East and West Eurasia played a vital role in the genetic formation of northwest Chinese populations.

Recent studies on paleogenomics have reported some Paleolithic and Neolithic genomes that have provided new insights into the human population history in East and Northeast Asia. However, there remain some cases where more recent migration events need to be examined to elucidate the detailed formation process of local populations. Although the area around northern Japan is one of the regions archaeologically suggested to have been affected by migration waves after the Neolithic period, the genetic source of these migrations are still unclear. Thus, genomic data from such past migrant populations would be highly informative to clarify the detailed formation process of local populations in this region. Here, we report the genome sequence of a 900-year-old adult female (NAT002) belonging to the prehistoric Okhotsk people, who have been considered to be the past migrants to northern Japan after the Neolithic period. We found a close relationship between NAT002 and modern Lower Amur populations and past admixture events between the Amur, Jomon, and Kamchatka ancestries. The admixture dating suggested migration of Amur-related ancestry at approximately 1,600 BP, which is compatible with the archaeological evidence regarding the settlement of the Okhotsk people. Our results also imply migration of Kamchatka-related ancestry at approximately 2,000 BP. In addition, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing detected the HLA-B*40 allele, which is reported to increase the risk of arthritis, suggesting the genetic vulnerability of NAT002 to hyperostosis, which was observed around her chest clavicle.
