Genomic impact of the second plague pandemic on three human populations

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.

Trained Immunity Causes Myeloid Cell Hypercoagulability

This study identifies enhanced myeloid cell prothrombotic activity as a novel consequence of trained immunity, mediated by epigenetic changes and acid sphingomyelinase.

A genetic perspective on the recent demographic history of Ireland and Britain

The paper uses genetic data to infer demographic history in Ireland and Britain, finding population bottlenecks, migration patterns, and surname enrichments in specific communities.

Population History and Genome Wide Association Studies of Birth Weight in a Native High Altitude Ladakhi Population

The paper investigates birth weight in a high altitude Ladakhi population using GWAS and ancestry analysis, finding evidence of Tibetan ancestry and nominal associations with birthweight-related genes.

Characterization of the Y Chromosome in Newfoundland and Labrador: Evidence of a Founder Effect

The paper analyzes Y chromosome data from Newfoundland and Labrador to show genetic evidence of a founder effect, with haplotypes primarily from English and Irish sources and some contributions from Basque, French, Portuguese, and Spanish populations.

Newfoundland and Labrador: A mosaic founder population of an Irish and British diaspora from 300 years ago.

This study analyzes the genetic structure of Newfoundland and Labrador using SNP data, revealing coastal community clustering, religious denomination associations, and a recent population bottleneck.
