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.

The paper analyzes paleogenomic data from 5th-6th century Pannonia to reveal genetic diversity and migration patterns in post-Roman communities.

The paper performs whole-exome sequencing on mummified remains to identify a genetic mutation associated with late-onset Pompe disease in a historical figure.

The paper analyzes genomic data from Indigenous groups in Panama to reveal pre-Hispanic demographic changes and the genetic structure of the Isthmo-Colombian area.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from the Balearic Islands, Sicily, and Sardinia to trace the arrival and spread of Steppe and Iranian-related ancestries in the western Mediterranean, revealing complex admixture histories.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial DNA from Longobard-era cemeteries to study genetic continuity and admixture during medieval migrations in Europe.

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 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.
