The paper uses ancient DNA to show matrilineal kinship structures and recurrent unions between dominant maternal groups in Iron Age Britain.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Maya tombs and caves to show that elite lineages extended their ancestral connections across distant locations.

The paper shows that hunter-gatherer continuity persisted in the Rhine-Meuse region longer than in continental Europe, with Bell Beaker groups later disrupting this pattern through mixture.

This paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins of the Yamnaya culture and links their expansion to the spread of Indo-European languages.

The paper analyzes ancient genomic data to compare demographic changes in Iberia during Roman and Migration Periods with other regions of the Roman Empire.

The paper analyzes the Hvar Radosevic burial site to study ancestry, diet, and health of Late Antique Dalmatian populations, finding genetic diversity, a plant-based diet, and signs of poor health.

The paper describes the Allen Ancient DNA Resource (AADR), a curated compendium of ancient human genomes, and reports its growth to over 10,000 individuals with genome-wide data.

ancIBD identifies IBD segments in ancient DNA to detect relatives and migration patterns, revealing long-distance connections and Steppe ancestry spread in Europe.

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.

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 uses genome-wide data from pre-contact Caribbean individuals to trace population movements and genetic continuity across the region.

The paper analyzes kinship and social organization in two Copper Age Bell Beaker cemeteries using archaeological, genetic, isotopic, and anthropological data.

The paper generates a genome from a historical European Plasmodium vivax strain, revealing its evolutionary relationship to American strains and the presence of drug resistance variants predating their use.

The paper studies 45 common human polymorphic inversions, showing their functional and evolutionary impact, including gene disruption and association with phenotypic traits.

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 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.

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 and present-day genome-wide data to show widespread Paleo-Eskimo ancestry among Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut language speakers and presents a model for North America's peopling.
