This study analyzes the oral microbiome of King Richard III using dental calculus metagenomics, finding it similar to other northern European populations despite his royal status and diet.

This study traces the evolutionary changes in the human oral microbiome over 102,400 years, revealing co-evolution with cultural and medical transitions and highlighting shifts in microbial ecology and antimicrobial resistance.

The paper provides a 5000-year-old dental calculus metagenomic dataset from 174 UK archaeological samples to study ancient human oral microbiomes and related topics like diet and antimicrobial resistance.

This study evaluates the impact of DNA damage and contamination on detecting antibiotic and metal resistance genes in ancient metagenomic samples, finding contamination is more problematic than diagenetic damage.

This study evaluates binning tools for reconstructing metagenomic-assembled genomes from ancient oral microbiomes using simulated and real data.

The paper shows that dam construction rapidly reduces adaptive genetic variation in salmon by selecting for a single locus, threatening recovery despite potential habitat restoration.

The paper reports the first use of a non-invasive DNA sampling technique on the York Gospels to uncover a biological palimpsest spanning over 1,000 years.
