Abstract excerpt
Long-distance migrations across Eurasia have led to extensive admixture among ethnolinguistically diverse Altaic speakers and their Indo-European neighbors; however, the population histories of the Xibe and Daur in northern China remain poorly understood. We address this gap by analyzing genome-wide SNP data from 324 individuals to characterize genetic structure, admixture, and migration. Both groups cluster with...
