The 2016 Gabriel W. Lasker Award is presented to Keith L. Hunley and Graciela S. Cabana for their paper "Beyond Serial Founder Effects: The Impact of Admixture and Localized Gene Flow on Patterns of Regional Genetic Diversity" (Hunley and Cabana 2016).

The 2017 Gabriel W. Lasker Award is presented to Alexandre M. Harris and Michael DeGiorgio for their paper "Admixture and Ancestry Inference from Ancient and Modern Samples through Measures of Population Genetic Drift" (Harris and DeGiorgio 2017). [End Page 311]
