Science journal has published ASU fellow’s article
The Science journal issue published on 6 August 2015 contains the article titled “Global diversity, population stratification, and selection of human copy number variation” authored by Rem I. Sukernik, Doctor of Biology, Head of the Human Molecular Genetics Laboratory of SB RAS Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, research worker of ASU Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Study of Archaeology of Western Siberia under the supervision of A.P. Derevyanko (in cooperation with SB RAS Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography). R.I. Sukernik is a famous geneticist, who made a major scientific contribution to proving the hypothesis of population of America by Siberian and Altai peoples.
Dmitry V. Papin, Candidate of History, research worker of Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Study of Archaeology and Ethnography of Western Siberia and Altai commented on this milestone event for the university’s science:
“Rem I. Sukernik is a leading specialist in genetic research. He studies indigenous peoples of Western and Eastern Siberia. On the basis his research, the origins of Siberian peoples and their place in the timeline of human evolution are being explained. This article contains the analysis of the big amount of material, including the material on Siberian peoples. It is connected to creation of human phylogenetic tree. This is a serious methodological and source work, which can be used as a base for all further genetic research.”
