The paper tracks genome-wide evolutionary dynamics in hybrid Drosophila populations, showing rapid purging of minority ancestry and repeated retention of selected regions through adaptive introgression.

The study analyzes ancient DNA from Iron Age and historical individuals in Zambia and Malawi to reveal multiple Bantu migrations into south central Africa, with genetic continuity from Later Stone Age foragers.

This study presents genome-wide data from ancient individuals to trace the genetic legacy of the Balkan refugium during the Last Glacial Maximum and its impact on later European hunter-gatherer populations.

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.

This paper generates genome-wide data from pre-Ceramic Caribbean individuals, showing genetic continuity with Central America and northern South America and small, locally structured communities.

The paper identifies convergent natural selection in East and West Eurasia for immune and cardiometabolic traits, but finds distinct patterns for light skin color.

The paper uses ancient DNA data from the eastern Colombian Andes to show that subsistence changes involving maize occurred without population replacement, followed by a major genetic turnover linked to the Herrera culture.

This study analyzes genome-wide data from Early Bronze Age individuals in Lower Austria to explore social structure and genetic relationships, revealing patrilocal society and long-distance genetic connections.

This study uses ancient DNA to show genetic continuity and differences in kinship systems among Early Copper Age communities in the Carpathian Basin.

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.

This study analyzes genomic data from 78 prehistoric North Pontic individuals to trace genetic ancestry and migration patterns from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.

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

This paper detects widespread directional selection in ancient DNA data, identifying 347 genome-wide significant loci and linking them to traits like body fat, skin color, and cognitive performance.

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.

The paper tests three reagents for in-solution enrichment of ancient human DNA and introduces a subset of SNPs that can be co-analyzed with shotgun data.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from the Swahili coast to trace genetic admixture between African and Asian populations over time.

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.
