A high coverage Mesolithic aurochs genome and effective leveraging of ancient cattle genomes using whole genome imputation.

The paper imputes diploid genotypes from low-coverage ancient cattle genomes using a modern reference panel, achieving high accuracy and SNP recovery across different downsample depths.

Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the early Neolithic

This study sequenced ancient dog genomes from the Neolithic period in Europe, finding continuity with modern dogs and rejecting a population replacement model and dual origins hypothesis for dog domestication.

ATLAS: Analysis Tools for Low-depth and Ancient Samples

ATLAS, a C++ toolkit that models post-mortem damage when genotyping ancient or low-depth BAM data, avoided GATK's reference bias and made fewer errors at higher depth in simulations.

Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans

This study shows early European farmers descended directly from Neolithic Aegeans, linking Mediterranean and Central European farmers to southwestern Asia.
