The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations
Open accessAbstract
Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human reference genome. Our analysis reveals key features of the landscape of human genome variation, including that the rate of accumulation of mutations has accelerated by about 5% in non-Africans compared to Africans since divergence. We show that the ancestors of some pairs of present-day human populations were substantially separated by 100,000 years ago, well before the archaeologically attested onset of behavioural modernity. We also demonstrate that indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andamanese do not derive substantial ancestry from an early dispersal of modern humans; instead, their modern human ancestry is consistent with coming from the same source as that of other non-Africans.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“It has been shown that Papuans and Indigenous Australians carry the largest amount of Denisovan introgression (∼1% to 5%), followed by East and South Asians (∼0.06% to 0.5%), and Indigenous Americans (∼0.05% to 0.4%) (Reich et al. 2010; Racimo et al. 2015; Mallick et al. 2016; Sankararaman et al. 2016; Browning et al. 2018).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“We caution, however, that our approach can artificially shorten haplotype block lengths (see Supplementary Methods and figs. S21 and S22), especially for populations such as Papuans and Australians that were absent from the 1000 Genomes Project panel (24) that was used for phasing (14).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Applying our approach to Neanderthal aSNPs segregating within present-day West Eurasians [31] replicates most of our findings, as well as previously reported signals including a depletion of Neanderthal variants within enhancer-like elements [12].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
