This study evaluates how ancient protein sequences can inform hominid evolution, showing they provide limited resolution compared to DNA data but can still offer insights when combined with better modeling.

This paper retrieves ancient enamel protein sequences from a 21-24 Ma rhinocerotid, providing new phylogenetic insights into Rhinocerotidae diversification during the middle Eocene-Oligocene.

The paper evaluates the reliability of phylogenetic inference using primate enamel proteins by simulating sequence fragmentation and comparing results to a reference species tree.

This paper introduces a high-throughput proteomics method for biological sex identification from archaeological human dental enamel, achieving high accuracy and scalability.

PaleoProPhyler provides a reproducible pipeline for phylogenetic analysis of ancient protein sequences, enabling efficient processing of proteomic and genetic data.

This study uses multi-omics analysis of ancient human remains from Sicily to show genetic homogeneity and a diet rich in animal proteins during the Upper Palaeolithic.

The paper sequenced the genome of an extinct Sardinian dhole to determine its evolutionary history and phylogenetic position, finding it diverged from Asian dholes and experienced gene flow before isolation.

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

This study uses Early Pleistocene dental enamel proteome sequences to resolve the phylogeny of Stephanorhinus, showing it is paraphyletic and requiring systematic revision.

This study uses ancient population genomic techniques to trace the origin and evolution of maize in the American Southwest, identifying two diffusion routes and genetic adaptations to local environments.
