Twenty-three new Yersinia pestis genomes from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Iceland and Armenia extend the Second Plague Pandemic phylogeny, with the first Icelandic plague genome and eastward-spreading pestis secunda strains.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from three European sites to assess the genomic impact of the second plague pandemic, finding no strong positive selection but evidence of reduced long-range immigration post-pandemic.

The paper analyzes biomolecular data from 39 mammoth individuals to understand Upper Palaeolithic human resource use, finding no sex-based foraging differences in Late Pleistocene megafauna.

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 generates DNA reference data for 184 Danish plant species using genome skimming, enhancing molecular identification capabilities and improving species resolution in metagenomic studies.

The paper retrieves and analyzes low-coverage mammalian ancient genomes from 25,000-year-old sediments, revealing new insights into the genetic history of humans, wolves, and bison.

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 analyzes genomic data to show Armenians remained unadmixed until the Bronze Age, then experienced a Sardinian-like genetic input, suggesting large-scale population movements in the Middle East.

This paper analyzes ancient genomes from northeastern Siberia to reveal complex population migrations and admixture events over the past 40,000 years.

This study improves endogenous DNA recovery from ancient bones and teeth through optimized enzymatic pre-digestion, increasing endogenous DNA content by up to 14 times in teeth.
