Twenty-three new Yersinia pestis genomes from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Iceland and Armenia extend the Second Plague Pandemic phylogeny, with the first Icelandic plague genome and eastward-spreading pestis secunda strains.

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.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of 150,119 UK Biobank individuals, identifying variants and associations with traits, and provides a haplotype reference panel for imputation.

This study examines the genetic structure of the Norwegian population, identifying two distinct genetic regions and highlighting the impact of geography on migration patterns and ancestry.
