LAYERED GENOMIC COMPOSITION AND LINGUISTIC CONTINUITY IN GRECIA SALENTINA

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze the genetic structure of a Greek-speaking community in Southern Italy, finding no strong evidence for external origins and supporting a model of continuous gene flow.

The arrival of the Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy predates the onset of the Roman Empire

This study shows that Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy arrived during the late Republican period, before the Roman Empire began.

The Genomic portrait of the Picene culture: new insights into the Italic Iron Age and the legacy of the Roman expansion in Central Italy.

The paper analyzes genomic data from the Picene culture to explore genetic continuity and change during the Iron Age and Roman expansion in Central Italy.

Bone adhered soil as a source of target and environmental DNA and proteins

This study analyzes soil adhered to human remains to recover environmental DNA and proteins, revealing microbial, animal, plant, and human genetic information from Neolithic to Medieval sites in England.

Echoes from the last Green Sahara: whole genome analysis of Fulani, a key population to unveil the genetic evolutionary history of Africa

The paper analyzes whole genome data from Fulani individuals to explore their genetic origins, suggesting a possible link to ancient Saharan populations rather than recent Eurasian admixture.

Local population structure in Cambridgeshire during the Roman occupation

The paper analyzes genome-wide data from 52 ancient individuals in Cambridgeshire to show low genetic ancestry differentiation and limited genetic relatedness during the Roman occupation, with modern genetic patterns emerging after the Roman period.

Medieval social landscape through the genetic history of Cambridgeshire before and after the Black Death

This study analyzes ancient genomes from Cambridgeshire to assess the Black Death's impact on local genetic diversity and social structure, finding no major genetic changes but disparities in stature linked to social status.

Ancient herpes simplex 1 genomes reveal recent viral structure in Eurasia

The paper presents ancient HSV-1 genomes from Europe, estimates mutation rates, and suggests lineage replacement during the Bronze Age.
