The diversity of Central Asians has been shaped by multiple migrations and cultural diffusion. Although ancient DNA studies have revealed the demographic changes of the Central Asian since the Bronze Age, the contribution of the ancient populations to the modern Central Asian remains opaque. Herein, we performed high-coverage sequencing of 131 whole genomes of Indo-European-speaking Tajik and Turkic-speaking Kyrgyz populations to explore their genomic diversity and admixture history.

- The Tibetan Empire's expansion from the 7th to 9th centuries significantly influenced East Eurasian history, yet its genetic effects on nearby populations were not well understood.* -
- Researchers sequenced genomes from populations in Pakistan and Tajikistan, finding that the Balti people have 22.6-26% Tibetan ancestry, linked to a single admixture event around 39-21 generations ago.* -
- The study concludes that while the Balti adopted Tibetan language and culture, the genetic influence from Tibet was mainly cultural rather than significant population movement, highlighting both male and female contributions in this change.*
Article Synopsis
- - The study identifies two distinct maternal lineages of domestic donkeys using mitochondrial sequence analysis, revealing their separation based on whole mitochondrial genomes and partial D-loop sequences.
- - Clade I lineage shows a significant population increase over 8,000 years ago with a complex haplotype network, while Clade II lineage has stable population numbers and a simpler network.
- - Geographic distribution indicates Clade I lineage dominates in sub-Saharan Africa, while Clade II is more common along the East and North African coasts, suggesting different domestication events influenced by environmental and human factors.
Article Synopsis
- The Pamirs are a high-altitude region in Central Asia with a complex settlement history among different ethnic groups, which remains poorly understood.
- Researchers sequenced mitochondrial DNA from 382 individuals across eight populations to analyze maternal ancestry and developed a high-resolution mtDNA haplogroup tree for Central Asia.
- Findings indicate that Central Asian genetic diversity is shaped by East-West Eurasian admixture, with the majority of mtDNA lineages emerging post-last glacial maximum, reflecting multiple migration waves over time.
