Genetic ancestry changes in Stone to Bronze Age transition in the East European plain

L. Saag, S. V. Vasilyev, L. Varul, N. V. Kosorukova, D. V. Gerasimov, S. V. Oshibkina, S. J. Griffith, A. Solnik, L. Saag, E. D'Atanasio, E. Metspalu, M. Reidla, S. Rootsi, T. Kivisild, C. L. Scheib, , M. Metspalu

The paper analyzes genetic ancestry changes during the Stone to Bronze Age transition in the East European plain, showing the presence of Eastern hunter-gatherer ancestry and the arrival of farming-related ancestry from the Steppe.

West Asian sources of the Eurasian component in Ethiopians: a reassessment

L. Molinaro, F. Montinaro, T. Kivisild, L. Pagani

The paper reassesses the sources of the Eurasian component in Ethiopians using ancestry deconvolution, revealing a genomic signature linked to Mediterranean and Levant population movements post-Minoan civilization collapse.

Ancient Yersinia pestis genomes from across Western Europe reveal early diversification during the First Pandemic (541-750)

M. Keller, M. A. Spyrou, C. L. Scheib, A. Kröpelin, B. Haas-Gebhard, B. Päffgen, J. Haberstroh, A. Ribera i Lacomba, C. Raynaud, C. Cessford, P. Stadler, K. Nägele, G. U. Neumann, J. S. Bates, B. Trautmann, , J. Krause

This study reconstructs six new Yersinia pestis genomes from the First Pandemic (541-750) and identifies genetic diversity and potential convergent evolution with later pandemics.

Like Sugar in Milk: Reconstructing the genetic history of the Parsi population

G. Chaubey, Q. Ayub, N. Rai, S. Prakash, V. Mushrif-Tripathy, M. Mezzavilla, A. K. Pathak, R. Tamang, S. Firasat, M. Reidla, M. Karmin, D. S. Rani, A. G. Reddy, J. Parik, E. Metspalu, , K. Thangaraj

This study reconstructs the genetic history of the Parsi population, showing their closest genetic relation to Middle Eastern populations and evidence of admixture with South Asians around 1,200 years ago.

Extensive farming in Estonia started through a sex-biased migration from the Steppe

L. Saag, L. Varul, C. L. Scheib, J. Stenderup, M. E. Allentoft, L. Saag, L. Pagani, M. Reidla, K. Tambets, E. Metspalu, A. Kriiska, E. Willerslev, T. Kivisild, M. Metspalu

The paper analyzes genome data from Estonian hunter-gatherers and farmers to show that farming in Estonia began with a sex-biased migration from the Steppe involving admixture with Anatolian farmers.
