Very excited about this preprint on the high-coverage HGDP genomes, which includes a large part of my PhD work in @aylwyn_scally's group. Here's a thread summarizing what we learned about archaic admixtures in using this large and diverse panel: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We identified Neanderthal and Denisovan segments using an HMM. When we look at the total amount of archaic segments, the geographical pattern agrees with many previous studies, e.g. more Neanderthal ancestry in E. Asia than Europe, Denisovan ancestry enriched in Oceania 2/n
