The genetic history of African populations is increasingly well documented, yet their patterns of epigenomic variation remain uncharacterized. Moreover, the relative impacts of DNA sequence variation and temporal changes in lifestyle and habitat on the human epigenome remain unknown. Here we generate genome-wide genotype and DNA methylation profiles for 362 rainforest hunter-gatherers and sedentary farmers. We find that the current habitat and historical lifestyle of a population have similarly ...[more]

Complete Genomes of a Hunter-Gatherer and a Bantu from Southern Africa

Project description:The genetic structure of the indigenous hunter-gatherer peoples of Southern Africa, the oldest known lineage of modern man, holds an important key to understanding humanity's early history. Previously sequenced human genomes have been limited to recently diverged populations. Here we present the first complete genome sequences of an indigenous hunter-gatherer from the Kalahari Desert and of a Bantu from Southern Africa, as well as protein-coding regions from an additional three hunter-gatherers from disparate regions of the Kalahari. We characterize the extent of whole-genome and exome diversity among the five men, reporting 1.3 million novel DNA differences genome-wide, and 13,146 novel amino-acid variants. These data allow genetic relationships among Southern African foragers and neighboring agriculturalists to be traced more accurately than was previously possible. Adding the described variants to current databases will facilitate inclusion of Southern Africans in medical research efforts.

Natural selection has contributed to functional immune response differences between human hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists

Project description:The shift from a hunter-gatherer (HG) to an agricultural (AG) mode of subsistence is believed to have been associated with profound changes in the burden and diversity of pathogens across human populations. Yet, the extent to which the advent of agriculture impacted the evolution of the human immune system remains unknown. Here we present a comparative study of variation in the transcriptional responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to bacterial and viral stimuli between the Batwa, a rainforest hunter-gatherer, and the Bakiga, an agriculturalist population from Central Africa. We observed increased divergence between hunter-gatherers and farmers in the transcriptional response to viruses compared to that for bacterial stimuli. We demonstrate that a significant fraction of these transcriptional differences are under genetic control, and we show that positive natural selection has helped to shape population differences in immune regulation. Unexpectedly, we found stronger signatures of recent natural selection in the rainforest hunter-gatherers, which argues against the popularized notion that shifts in pathogen exposure due to the advent of agriculture imposed radically heightened selective pressures in agriculturalist populations.

Exome and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Central African Hunter-Gatherers and Agriculturalists

Project description:To investigate how human populations have adapted to the equatorial rainforest, we generated 266 high-coverage exomes, analyzed in combination with 300 published exomes, from 14 populations of African rainforest hunter-gatherers and farmers, together with 40 newly-generated, low-coverage genomes. Genome scans for positive selection and signatures of polygenic selection provide evidence for local adaptation of hunter-gatherers to the African rainforest.

Project description:Exome sequencing of 317 rainforest hunter-gatherers (RHG) and neighbouring farmers (AGR) from Central Africa was performed based on the Nextera Rapid Capture Expanded Exome Kit (62-Mb content) with the Illumina HiSeq 2500. The population sample includes the Baka of south-eastern Cameroon and northern Gabon (wRHG), the Bantu-speaking Nzebi and Bapunu sedentary agriculturalists of Gabon (wAGR), and the BaTwa (eRHG) and BaKiga (eAGR) from Uganda. After QC filters, exomes of 300 unrelated individuals were obtained at high coverage (mean depth 68x), including 406,270 variants.

Genome wide data from Agta hunter-gatherers in Philippines

Project description:To investigate the relationship between host genetics and the oral microbiome composition of Agta hunter-gatherers from the Philippines, we genotyped the Agta population (hunter-gatherers from Philippines) together with BaYaka (hunter-gatherers from Congo) and Palanan farmers (neighbouring population of the Agta).
