The paper shows that high-altitude Andean populations experienced selective events at angiogenic pathways, similar to Himalayan populations, despite partial gene-level convergence.

The paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins and spread of Indo-European languages in South and Central Asia.

This study identifies human-specific non-LTR retrotransposon insertions and shows their association with gene expression changes and phenotypic evolution in humans.
