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 paper confirms the genealogical relationship between Otto I and Heinrich II through ancient DNA analysis and whole-genome sequencing.

This study analyzes genome-wide data from Early Bronze Age individuals in Lower Austria to explore social structure and genetic relationships, revealing patrilocal society and long-distance genetic connections.

The paper examines genetic and cultural changes in post-Roman Europe, finding that cultural shifts in Slovenia occurred without corresponding genetic changes, indicating a decoupling of cultural and genetic dynamics.

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

This study uses ancient DNA to analyze post-Roman polity formation in the Little Hungarian Plain, revealing genetic changes and social organization patterns.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from the South Caucasus over 5000 years, showing genetic continuity despite high mobility and admixture from Anatolia, the steppe, and southern populations.

This study analyzes the genetic profiles of Bronze Age metallurgical individuals to explore genetic heterogeneity and the spread of Siberian ancestry across Northern Eurasia.

Ancient DNA from 181 North Eurasian foragers traces a stable west-to-east ancestry gradient and ties Yakutia_LNBA ancestry, with Y-haplogroup N, to Uralic speakers and Seima-Turbino metallurgy.

The paper uses genome-wide data to analyze the genetic relationships of six early Medieval Korean individuals buried together in a jar coffin, finding they form an extended family with no significant genetic change over 1,500 years.

The paper presents ancient HSV-1 genomes from Europe, estimates mutation rates, and suggests lineage replacement during the Bronze Age.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Wallacea to show multiple human dispersals, with southern islands showing earlier Asian contributions than previously thought.

This study introduces a Y-chromosome capture assay (YMCA) to improve NRY coverage and haplogroup resolution, revealing new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe.

This study integrates isotopic and genomic data from Tell Atchana to examine human mobility during the 2nd millennium BC, finding limited individual mobility despite high regional interaction.

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

This study reconstructs the 6,000-year genetic history of the Eastern Steppe using ancient genomes, revealing pastoralist expansions, population structuring, and the emergence of the Xiongnu and Mongols.

This study evaluates DNA preservation in ten skeletal elements from Medieval Germany, confirming the petrous pyramid as the best source and identifying seven alternative locations for aDNA extraction.

The paper shows Ancient Beringians have admixture from Amur River Basin populations and are not the deepest American lineage.

This study identifies previously unknown Treponema pallidum strains in early modern Europe, suggesting a complex history of treponemal diseases.

This paper uses ancient and present-day genomic data to reconstruct the population history of East Asia, identifying key migrations and language dispersals.

Genome-wide and isotopic data from prehistoric Sicilians reveal a pre-farming connection to (south-) eastern Europe, and tentative initial evidence that hunter-gatherers adopted some Neolithic aspects prior to near-total replacement by early farmers.

HOPS automates the detection and authentication of bacterial DNA in ancient DNA samples to identify candidates for genomic analysis.

This study uses ancient DNA to trace Sardinia's population history from the Neolithic to the present, finding genetic continuity and limited Bronze Age Steppe ancestry.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Anatolia to show genetic continuity between hunter-gatherers and early farmers, suggesting limited migration in the origin of farming in central Anatolia.

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.

This study analyzes historical Y. pestis genomes to trace the phylogeography of the second plague pandemic, revealing patterns of genetic diversity and virulence gene loss.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Finland and Northwest Russia to show Siberian ancestry in northern Europe dates back 3,500 years and influenced modern Uralic-speaking populations.

The paper analyzes ancient genomic DNA from two cemeteries associated with the Longobards to study social organization and migration patterns in 6th-century Europe.

This study analyzes genome-wide data from inner Eurasian populations to characterize genetic admixture patterns and their historical context.
