Brunel, Samantha. "Paleogenomics of human population dynamics on the French territory between 7000 and 2000 before present." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCC282.
Full textThe last 10,000 years in Western Eurasia were marked by cultural transitions that profoundly transformed human societies: the advent of the Neolithic, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Paleogenomics, the analysis of ancient genomes, started to address the underlying demographic processes in various parts of the continent. In France, however, Late Prehistory is only known from the rich archaeological records and not yet explored through genetics at a territory-wide scale. We generated a large dataset comprising the complete mitochondrial genomes, Y chromosome markers and genotypes on a number of nuclear loci of interest obtained through a DNA enrichment approach of 193 Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age individuals sampled across the territory of present-day France. It was complemented with the low-coverage genomes of 58 individuals partially overlapping this dataset. This panel provides, for the first time, a high-resolution 5,000-year transect of the dynamics of maternal and paternal lineages in France as well as of autosomal genotypes. Both parental lineages and genomic data revealed different dynamics in the North and the South of the French territory during the Neolithic, with varying degrees of incorporation of autochthonous hunter-gatherers lineages into farming communities. They also revealed a mostly male-driven gene flow from individuals deriving part of their ancestry from the Pontic Steppe at the onset of the Bronze Age, a signature that then persisted through the Iron Age. The various nuclear phenotypic markers we studied evolved differently. While some harbor present-day European frequencies already at the Neolithic epoch indicating ancient episodes of positive selection of these specific traits, others show different evolutionary stages throughout the Neolithic and the Bronze Age allowing us the establish more clearly the origin and evolution of the phenotypic traits that characterize the present-day European population. This study further expands our understanding of the relationship between populations during late Prehistory in France and across Europe
White, Adam J. "Fecal Stanols as Indicators of Ancient Population Change." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10690842.
Full textFecal stanol analysis is an emergent geoarchaeological method that provides a proxy of human population change within a watershed. We provide an overview of the method, summarizing previous research and biochemical, geological, and archaeological considerations necessary for the method’s success. We apply the method on cores from lake sediments near Cahokia, Illinois, the largest and most well-studied prehistoric mound center in North America. We find fecal stanol data closely track independently established population reconstructions from multiple sources, confirming the utility of the method and demonstrating its viability in warm climates. We compare the Horseshoe Lake fecal stanol record with paleoenvironmental data from this study and others to evaluate the role of flooding, droughts, and environmental degradation in Cahokia’s decline. We find Mississippi River flooding and warm season droughts occurred shortly after Cahokia’s population maximum, but we find no conclusive evidence of prehistoric environmental degradation in the watershed.

Full textAquesta tesi estudia des d’un punt de analític i computacional, gràcies a les equacions de reacció-difusió, l’evolució espaciotemporal de diferents poblacions que interactuen entre elles. El primer article estudia la dinàmica del bacteriòfag T7 infectant el bacteri E. coli. Gràcies a la incorporació del temps de retard en els termes de difusió i reacció, així com de nous termes matemàtics amb sentit biològic, aconseguim uns resultats que s’ajusten millor a les velocitats de propagació. El segon article aplica diferents models matemàtics per entendre millor l’expansió del VSV en Glioblastomes. L'únic model capaç d'explicar de manera correcte el sistema té en compte el temps de retard per als processos de difusió i reacció. L’últim article explica la transició del Neolític a través d’Europa utilitzant mostres genètiques antigues i simulacions matemàtiques. Centrant-nos en l’haplogrup K, el model es construeix tenint en compte els dos mecanismes de difusió neolítica: dèmica i cultural. Les simulacions mostren que la transició és bàsicament dèmica, on només el 2% dels neolítics interaccionen culturalment

Full textForensic scientists routinely use DNA for identification and to match samples with individuals. Although standard approaches are effective on a wide variety of samples in various conditions, issues such as low-template DNA samples and mixtures of DNA from multiple individuals pose significant challenges. Extreme examples of these challenges can be found in the field of ancient DNA, where DNA recovered from ancient remains is highly fragmented and marked by patterns of DNA-damage. Additionally, ancient libraries are often characterized by low endogenous DNA content and contaminating DNA from outside sources. As a result, standard forensics approaches, such as amplification of short-tandem repeats, are not effective on ancient samples. Alternatively, ancient DNA is routinely directly sequenced using high-throughput sequencing to survey the molecules that are present within a library. However, the resulting sequences are not easily compared for the purposes of identification, as each data set represents a random and, in some cases, non-overlapping, sample of the genome.
In this dissertation, I present two approaches for interpreting shotgun sequences that address two common issues in forensic and ancient DNA: extremely low nuclear genome coverage and mixtures of sequences from multiple individuals. First, I present an approach to test for a common source individual between extremely low-coverage sequence data sets that makes use of the vast number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) discovered by surveys of human genetic diversity. As almost no observed SNP positions will be common to both samples, our method uses patterns of linkage disequilibrium as modeled by a panel of haplotypes to determine whether observations made across samples are consistent with originating from a single individual. I demonstrate the power of this approach using coalescent simulations, downsampled high-throughput sequencing data and published ancient DNA data. Second, I present an approach for interpreting mixtures of mitochondrial DNA sequences from multiple individuals. Mixed DNA samples are common in forensics investigations, either from the direct nature of a case (e.g., a sample containing DNA from both a victim and a perpetrator) or from outside contamination. I describe an expectation maximization approach for detecting the mitochondrial haplogroups contributing to a mixture and partitioning fragments by haplogroup to reconstruct the underlying haplotypes. I demonstrate the approach’s feasibility, accuracy, and sensitivity on both in silico and in vitro sequence mixtures. Finally, I present the results of applying our mixture interpretation approach on ancient contact DNA recovered from ∼ 700 year old moccasin and cordage samples.
