The Neanderthal population history and the introgression landscape inferred from the UK Biobank

2026-04-04

Abstract excerpt

Neanderthal haplotypes in present-day Eurasians are unevenly distributed across the genome, forming introgression deserts and high-frequency segments consistent with adaptive introgression, with additional random variation affected by genetic drift. However, current estimates are limited by modest sample sizes and analyses restricted to subsets of the genome, given that any individual carries only 1-2% Neanderthal...
