The paper identifies recent positive selection of MEFV mutations in Armenians linked to the first Yersinia pestis plague pandemic, suggesting resistance to plague as the selective agent.

This paper investigates using imputation to improve archaic ancestry inference in ancient human genomes, showing that imputed genomes can reliably detect and quantify introgression and identify introgressed segments.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from Bahrain to reveal population history and malaria adaptation, identifying the G6PD Mediterranean mutation's rise in frequency around 5-6 kya.
