	<description><![CDATA[<p>Now a dayz, almost 3% of the world's population lived outside their country of origin. These migration is increasingly being perceived as a force that can contribute to development, and an integral aspect of the global development process.&nbsp; While migrants make important contributions to the economic prosperity of their host countries, the flow of financial, technological, social and human capital back to their countries of origin also is having a significant impact on poverty reduction and economic development.</p><p>However, the ancient invasions and migrations to slavery and trade, history is embroidered with events that led to interactions between previously separate populations. Early humans migrated due to many factors such as changing climate and landscape and inadequate food supply. Historical migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about a million years ago. Homo sapiens appear to have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago, moved out of Africa 70,000 years ago, and had spread across Australia, Asia and Europe by 40,000 years BC. Indo-Aryan migration from the Indus Valley to the plain of the River Ganges in Northern India is presumed to have taken place in the Middle to Late Bronze Age, contemporary to the Late Harappan phase in India (ca. 1700 to 1300 BC). From 180 BC, a series of invasions from Central Asia followed, including those led by the Indo-Greeks, Indo-Scythians, Indo-Parthians and Kushans in the northwestern Indian subcontinent.</p><p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Map-of-human-migrations.jpg" alt="image" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></p><p>Using the recent advance technologies researchers have created a historical atlas of instances of such mixing. They use a sophisticated statistical method for making inferences about human history and&nbsp;infer populations interbredings ( happen over the past 4,000 years) with an ease.<br /><br />The study published the findings and presented with an interactive map. http://admixturemap.paintmychromosomes.com/</p><p>These sort of genomic study have some limilation. It is hard to precisely define sources of mixing when it occurred between genetically similar groups, and scenarios involving multiple waves of mixing over time or between multiple groups can be difficult to tease apart. But it is believed that larger sample sizes will improve resolution. These high resolution will provide a deeper understanding of human history.</p><p>Reference:</p><p>http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2014/01/28/science.1245938</p><p>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21390129?dopt=Abstract&amp;holding=npg</p><p>http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/paper-ethnicity.html</p><p>Image: Wikipedia</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MGSE can harness the power of files generated in genome sequencing projects to predict the genome size. Required are the FASTA file containing a high continuity assembly and a BAM file with all available reads mapped to this assembly. The script construct_cov_file.py (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5360-z) allows the generation of a COV file based on the (sorted) BAM file (also possible via MGSE directly). Next, this COV file can be used by MGSE to calculate the coverage in provided reference regions and to calculate the total number of mapped bases. Both values are subjected to the genome size estimation. Providing accurate reference regions is crucial for this genome size estimation.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/bpucker/MGSE" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bpucker/MGSE</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Complete genome sequences from more than one hundred diverse human populations</em></p>
<p>All genomes in the dataset were sequenced to at least 30x coverage using Illumina technology. The sequencing reads were mapped and genotyped using a customized procedure that was optimized for population genetic analysis. The researchers eliminated bias of alleles toward matching the human genome reference sequence, and determined genotypes on a single-sample basis to avoid preferential calling of genotypes from populations that had more individuals represented.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://www.simonsfoundation.org/simons-genome-diversity-project/" rel="nofollow">https://www.simonsfoundation.org/simons-genome-diversity-project/</a></p>]]></description>
