A Method to Analyze Low-Quality Archaic Human Genomes and its Application to the Teshik-Tash 1 Neandertal

Arev Pelin Sümer, Leonardo Nicola Martin Iasi, Alba Bossoms Mesa, Viviane Slon, Elena Essel, Mateja Hajdinjak, Julia Zorn, Anna Schmidt, Sarah Nagel, Birgit Nickel, Bence Viola, Rustam Ziganshin, Alexandra Buzhilova, Anatoly P. Derevianko, Svante Pääbo, Benjamin Marco Peter

The paper develops a computational method to analyze low-quality archaic human genomes and applies it to the Teshik-Tash 1 Neandertal, showing genetic similarity to later Western Eurasian Neandertals.

A systematic investigation of human DNA preservation in medieval skeletons

Cody Parker, Adam B. Rohrlach, Susanne Friederich, Sarah Nagel, Matthias Meyer, Johannes Krause, Kirsten I. Bos, Wolfgang Haak

This study evaluates DNA preservation in ten skeletal elements from Medieval Germany, confirming the petrous pyramid as the best source and identifying seven alternative locations for aDNA extraction.

Genomic and dietary transitions during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in Sicily

Marieke S. van de Loosdrecht, Marcello A. Mannino, Sahra Talamo, Vanessa Villalba‐Mouco, Cosimo Posth, Franziska Aron, Guido Brandt, Marta Burri, Cäcilia Freund, Rita Radzevičiūtė, Raphaela Stahl, Antje Wissgott, Lysann Klausnitzer, Sarah Nagel, Matthias Meyer, , Johannes Krause

Genome-wide and isotopic data from prehistoric Sicilians reveal a pre-farming connection to (south-) eastern Europe, and tentative initial evidence that hunter-gatherers adopted some Neolithic aspects prior to near-total replacement by early farmers.
