This study finds that higher polygenic risk scores for breast cancer are associated with longer survival in patients, suggesting a link between genetic predisposition and less aggressive tumors.

This study analyzes genomic data from 78 prehistoric North Pontic individuals to trace genetic ancestry and migration patterns from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from LBK Neolithic sites to show genetic differences between eastern and western LBK populations, with evidence of patrilocality and no evidence of male-biased WHG admixture.

The paper analyzes genome-wide data from medieval German Jews to show the Ashkenazi founder event occurred before the 14th century, with genetic heterogeneity not present in modern Ashkenazi Jews.

This report documents the successful extraction and analysis of ancient DNA from 27 African American individuals buried at Catoctin Furnace, Maryland, as part of a study on the enslaved and free African American population there.

The paper analyzes genome-wide data from 66 ancient individuals from Kulubnarti to explore genetic ancestry and social stratification in Christian Period Nubia, finding no genetic differentiation between socially stratified cemeteries.

This paper shows that combining ancient DNA and radiocarbon dating can narrow date ranges for related individuals by incorporating biological constraints on death age separations.

This study evaluates qpAdm's performance in admixture analysis through simulations, finding it robust in many scenarios but cautioning against certain practices.

This study evaluates auditory ossicles as an alternative to cochlea for ancient DNA recovery, finding comparable DNA quality and quantity with less morphological damage.

The paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins and spread of Indo-European languages in South and Central Asia.

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.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from Southeast Asia to show multiple waves of migration, including an initial spread of Austroasiatic languages and a later influx linked to Bronze Age populations.

This study uses ancient DNA data to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was primarily due to migration, replacing most Neolithic gene pool and introducing Steppe ancestry.

Ancient DNA from 223 people (12,000-500 BCE) reveals a west-east hunter-gatherer cline, largely unadmixed farmers, Caucasus-shifted Aegean farmers, and Balkan steppe ancestry almost 2,000 years early.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA data from Neolithic and Chalcolithic Europe to study population dynamics and admixture patterns across different regions and time periods.
