TL;DR: Observations suggest that the process of tribalization began early in the history of the Amerinds, with relatively little intertribal genetic exchange occurring subsequently.

TL;DR: The newly resolved phylogenetic structure suggests that ancestors of Native Americans paused when they reached Beringia, during which time New World founder lineages differentiated from their Asian sister-clades, and a swift migration southward that distributed the founder types all the way to South America.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there has been gene flow between some Native Americans from both North and South America and groups related to East Asians and Australo-Melanesians, the latter possibly through an East Asian route that might have included ancestors of modern Aleutian Islanders.
Mitochondrial population genomics supports a single pre-Clovis origin with a coastal route for the peopling of the Americas.

TL;DR: It is shown, by using 86 complete mitochondrial genomes, that all Native American haplogroups, including haplogroup X, were part of a single founding population, thereby refuting multiple-migration models and supporting a pre-Clovis occupation of the New World.

Use of bleach to eliminate contaminating DNA from the surface of bones and teeth
Brian M. Kemp,David Glenn Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Endogenous DNA proved to be quite stable to even extreme sodium hypochlorite treatments, suggesting that DNA adsorbs to hydroxyapatite in the bone and that this process facilitates the preservation of DNA in ancient skeletal remains.
