The deglacial forest conundrum

Deglacial forest expansion in the Northern Hemisphere poses a conundrum: Model results agree with the climate signal but are several millennia ahead of reconstructed forest dynamics. The underlying causes remain unsolved.

Late Quaternary fluctuation in upper range limit of trees shapes endemic flora diversity on the Tibetan Plateau

The upper paleo-range limit of trees dictates the endemic habitat of alpine trees. Here, the authors combine satellite, dendrochronological, fossil pollen, and paleoclimate data to create a model that reconstructs the upper range limit of trees through the last 22 thousand years on the Tibetan Plateau.

Position and orientation of the westerly jet determined Holocene rainfall patterns in China

The basic mechanisms behind the East Asian Summer Monsoon remain poorly understood. Using proxy-based reconstructions and simulations, here the authors show that changes in the orientation and position of the westerly jet stream resulted in regionally asynchronous Holocene precipitation maxima.

Spatial patterns and environmental functions of dissolved organic matter in grassland soils of China

Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) is critical to ecosystem processes and humans. Here the authors reveal the spatial variations in grassland soil DOM in China, with different fractions playing varied roles in local carbon exchange and human health.

Global genetic diversity, introgression, and evolutionary adaptation of indicine cattle revealed by whole genome sequencing

Indicine cattle make up half of all cattle populations worldwide. Using a large genomic dataset, this study finds historic migrations and extensive introgression with domestic and wild bovine species has facilitated this species physiological adaptation to extreme environments.

Identification of 38 novel loci for systemic lupus erythematosus and genetic heterogeneity between ancestral groups

The presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus has been known to differ by ancestry, but the underlying genetic factors remain unclear. Here, the authors report ancestry-specific susceptibility loci and better risk prediction when using data from matched ancestral groups.

Deep sequencing of the MHC region in the Chinese population contributes to studies of complex disease

Xuejun Zhang, Jun Wang, Liangdan Sun, Lennart Hammarström and colleagues sequence the MHC region in 20,635 Han Chinese individuals. Their Han-MHC database allows identification of new susceptibility loci for psoriasis and could serve as a tool for investigating the role of the MHC region in other complex diseases.
