Dr. Shuhua Xu
Dr. Shuhua Xu is a population geneticist at the CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology. His research has focused on population genomics research of human admixture history and biological adaptation to local environment. The ultimate goal of his research is to understand microevolution mechanisms in human, while genetic admixture was taken as a cut-in point to pursue this ambition.
The Population Genomics Group led by Dr. Xu is using computational approaches and developing new methods to dissect genetic architecture of human populations, quantitatively characterize their admixture features, and reveal their migration history and adaptive divergence.

Common ancestor of Han Chinese, Japanese and Koreans dated to 3000 – 3600 years ago
New research published in Hereditas has dated the most recent common ancestor of the three major East Asian ethnic groups to the time of the Shang dynasty using a genome-wide study. Here to tell us about their findings and the specific genetic connections and distinctions between these populations is Dr. Shuhua Xu, one of the authors of the study.
Bronze Tiger from Shang dynasty
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, what is the difference? It is usually difficult to tell which of the three East Asian groups a person comes from just by looking at their appearance. Indeed, these three influential ethnic groups, i.e., Han Chinese, Japanese, and Korean share many similarities in appearance, language and culture.
