Fudan-Led Study Reveals the Qiang’s Ancient Yellow River Ancestry and Two Divergent Admixture Histories

Based on whole-genome data from 20 Qiang individuals in Maoxian, Sichuan, the Fudan team reveals the Qiang people’s origin among Yellow River Neolithic Miaozigou populations, their divergence at the plateau margin, and their formation through admixture, offering key genetic evidence for the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation.

The 1000 Chinese Pangenome: Westlake University Builds the Largest Human Pangenome to Date, Revealing 13% of Previously Unknown Sequences

The Westlake University team and Wenzhou Medical University built 1,116 diploid Chinese genome assemblies, uncovering 405.3 million base pairs of novel sequences—13% of the human genome—including 26.2 million bp with clear functional roles, providing an East Asian reference framework for diagnostics and drug development.

Largest-Ever Ancient-Modern Y-Chromosome Resource Reconstructs the Complex Paternal Peopling of East Asia

Integrating 17,740 modern and 977 ancient Y chromosomes — plus 1,045 newly sequenced individuals — this study builds the highest-resolution East Asian paternal tree to date, linking farming expansions to O-lineage growth and separating inland and coastal routes.

Donghulin Ancient Genomes: Population Turnover and a Previously Unknown Deep Northern East Asian Lineage at the Paleolithic–Neolithic Transition

Fu Qiaomei's team reports the first well-contextualized genomes from 11,000–9,000-year-old Donghulin remains: a previously unknown deep northern East Asian lineage in the lower layer, and population turnover by the upper layer.

Five Southward Waves: A Large-Scale Y-Chromosome Phylogeny Reveals Neolithic Farmer Expansions from China into Southeast Asia

Integrating 1,507 high-coverage Y sequences, 780 ancient East Asian genomes, and 1,748 Southeast Asian sequences, the study identifies at least five Neolithic southward farmer waves carried mainly by O1 and O2 lineages.

Ancient Yellow River Ancestry and Divergent Admixture Histories of the Qiang People: A Full-Genome Reconstruction

Fudan University researchers sequence 20 Qiang genomes from Maoxian and find two subgroups—one closer to Han, one to Tibetan—sharing ancestry from a ~5,300-year-old Yellow River population, plus a ~46,000-year-old ANKRD36 lineage.

Ancient DNA from Shimao Records Kinship Practices in Neolithic China

Sequencing 169 ancient samples from Shimao, Qiaomei Fu's team traces the population mainly to local late Yangshao ancestry, reconstructs a four-generation patrilineage, and finds mostly male sacrificial victims at the East Gate.

Ancient Genomes from the Southeastern Mongolian Plateau Trace Neolithic Cultural Diffusions in Northern East Asia

A team led by Qiaomei Fu analyzed 35 ancient genomes from the southeastern Mongolian Plateau spanning 8,800–5,000 years ago, tracing local early-Holocene ancestry and later inflow from Hongshan-related groups around 5,700 years ago.
