PIGSTI detects species identity, pathogens, and microbes in ancient animal genomic data, identifying 15 zoonotic pathogens including Rickettsia felis and Leptospira borgpetersenii.

SheepEpimap combines 516 histone CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets from 43 sheep tissues to annotate 2.93 million cis-regulatory elements and 145,407 allele-specific variants for trait interpretation.

The paper analyzes palaeogenomes of Neolithic sheep and goats to show that Mediterranean dispersal caused genetic bottlenecks, reducing effective population sizes and increasing homozygosity in Iberian livestock.

This study reconstructs the genomic history of the extinct giant deer, revealing genetic vulnerabilities linked to its extinction.

The paper reconstructs 3,500 years of sheeppox virus evolution using ancient genomes from archaeological and medieval parchment sources, showing divergence events and gene inactivation.

The paper uses genetic and proteomics analysis on archaeological remains to trace genetic connectivity and inbreeding in Irish goats over 3,000 years.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from a 7,000-year-old goat leather specimen, revealing its domestic goat origin and genetic connections to modern Iberian breeds, while also identifying human and canid DNA fragments.

The paper identifies sheeppox virus in 17th-19th century French sheep remains using paleogenetics and interdisciplinary methods.

This paper uses genotype imputation to analyze low coverage ancient goat genomes, revealing demographic patterns and genetic consequences of domestication.

The paper discovers a new Capra lineage from ancient genomes in Turkey's Taurus Mountains, related to modern Caucasian tur species and showing genetic introgression in domestic goats.

The paper reports the whole genome sequencing of a 1600-year-old mummified sheep from a salt mine, showing exceptional DNA preservation and linking it to modern Southwest Asian breeds.

This study identifies introgression and selection events in goat domestication, linking them to immune and behavioral genes.

This study analyzes Y-chromosomal haplotypes in domestic, ancient, and wild goats to reconstruct their population history and phylogeographic patterns.

This study sequenced ancient dog genomes from the Neolithic period in Europe, finding continuity with modern dogs and rejecting a population replacement model and dual origins hypothesis for dog domestication.
