This study uses herbarium genomics to trace the origin and global spread of Japanese knotweed, revealing genetic patterns and hybridization events across its native and introduced ranges.

This study analyzes genomic data from 52 individuals across the central Southern Cone to trace genetic ancestry and movements during the Middle to Late Holocene.

All five wild populations fed an early barley founder population in the Fertile Crescent during extended pre-domestication cultivation; about 91% of wild-matched haplotypes split 32 to 8 ka BP.

This study compares three DNA enrichment methods for ancient pathogen DNA, finding in-solution approaches are most effective and RNA baits outperform DNA baits.

The paper characterizes the genomic diversity of Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue in non-human primates across sub-Saharan Africa, finding geographic clustering of strains rather than host or symptom-based clades.

This study improves DNA extraction from herbarium specimens to retrieve ultrashort DNA molecules by optimizing buffer and library preparation methods.

The paper estimates the mutation rate and evolutionary relevance in a colonizing plant lineage using historical and modern genomic data.

The paper analyzes DNA degradation in herbarium specimens over 300 years, finding exponential fragmentation and specific mutation patterns.
