Earlier and population-genetics background

The group's population-genetic work builds on earlier papers on the genetic legacy of the expansion of Turkic-speaking nomads across Eurasia (PLOS Genetics) and on the genetics of the Volga–Ural region populations. The full, current list — including papers from the Estonian Biobank and cGEM collaborations and conference abstracts — is on Google Scholar.
