Ancient genomes shed light on the genetic history of the Iron Age to historical central Xinjiang, northwest China
The finding indicated that the genetic structure of the central Xinjiang population since the Iron Age could have resulted from immigration from northern China, which was attributed to geopolitical factors. Hence, our results indicated that the geopolitical change with the deepening of Central Plains' management has influenced the genetic profile of central Xinjiang.
