Delighted to share that this project has been published today in Current Biology. In this paper, we look into the genetic population structure and demographic histories of two populations in Sri Lanka: the Sinhalese and Adivasi [1/n]. cell.com/current-biolog…

Our work is out in AJHG "Natural selection acting on complex traits hampers the predictive accuracy of polygenic scores in ancient samples." Great collaboration with Diego Ortega-Del Vecchyo & Emilia Huerta, led by talented LCG UNAM Juriquilla (LCGEJ) undergrad Valeria Añorve-Garibay, now a PhD student at CCMB at Brown.
