The genetic legacy of archaic hominins in Central and Southeast Asia uncovers three distinct Denisovan populations

The paper analyzes archaic ancestry in Central and Southeast Asian populations, revealing three distinct Denisovan admixture events in Southeast Asia.

Genetic continuity of Indo-Iranian speakers since the Iron Age in southern Central Asia.

The paper analyzes genetic continuity of Indo-Iranian speakers in Central Asia by comparing modern populations with ancient genomes, finding strong continuity since the Iron Age with limited gene flow.

Metagenomic analysis of a blood stain from the French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793)

The paper analyzes metagenomic data from a blood stain on a newspaper linked to Jean-Paul Marat to investigate potential infectious agents of his skin condition.

Chromosome evolution at the origin of the ancestral vertebrate genome

The paper reconstructs the chromosome evolution of the ancestral vertebrate genome through two whole genome duplications and subsequent fusions, resolving ambiguities in the lamprey genetic map and providing insights into micro-chromosome origins.
