This paper introduces TTNE, a method for inferring recent effective population size trajectories from time-series IBD data, showing improved resolution over methods using contemporaneous samples.

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

The paper shows that genetic estimates of Polynesian island settlement dates are biased and reflect later inter-island contacts rather than initial colonization.

hapCon estimates contamination in ancient DNA by analyzing male X chromosomes, outperforming existing tools in low coverage regimes.
