A Mongolian genome?

PLoS Genet 9(7): e1003634. doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1003634 Well, not quite. You have to read the paper, Genomic Analysis of Natural Selection and Phenotypic Variation in High-Altitude Mongolians, to see why I'm skeptical. Frankly it doesn't seem like they found too much of note in their results, so I'm kind of confused why this paper got into PLOS GENETICS (and to give due credit, this group has published very interesting work in the past which I have smiled upon). So why am I even posting about this paper? Because I was pretty sure they'd release their data, and they have (just page down to the bottom). All researchers who take the trouble to do this should be praised, highlighted, and respected. This improves science. After the AHA fiasco ...
