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.

This study analyzes genomic data from 200 medieval individuals to reveal the genetic structure and origins of the Rus population, identifying Slavic-related and Fenno-Ugrian components with shared ancestry from ancient Baltic populations.

This study uses ancient DNA to analyze the evolution of Streptococcus mutans over 8,000 years, showing that some virulence traits emerged with agricultural diets.

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of ancient Salmonella enterica using 53 new genomes, revealing host adaptation events and convergent evolution in pathogenic lineages.

This paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins of the Yamnaya culture and links their expansion to the spread of Indo-European languages.

The paper reports admixture between Neolithic farmers and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in the Danube Gorges, supported by palaeogenomic analysis and archaeological findings.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from the Viking Age to understand genetic structure and migration patterns, finding significant foreign gene flow and population differentiation.

The paper analyzes genetic data from prehistoric individuals in the North Caucasus to explore the origins of Eurasian steppe ancestry and its relationship to cultural innovations.
