Description:
Here, we present seven genomes from Xingfulindai (XFLD) sites dating to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. We observed that four of seven XFLD individuals (XFLD_1) were genetically homogenous with Neolithic populations from the middle reaches of the Yellow River basin, with no genetic influence from the West Eurasian or other non-Yellow River-related lineages. The remaining three XFLD individuals were a mixture of middle YR-related ancestry and ~3%-15% Western Eurasian-related ancestry. Mixtures of XFLD_1 and Western Eurasian-related ancestry drove the main gradient of genetic variation in northern and central Shannxi province today.
