A high-coverage genome from a 200,000-year-old Denisovan

This paper presents a second high-quality Denisovan genome from a 200,000-year-old molar, revealing genetic contributions from multiple Denisovan groups and refining the Denisovan genetic lineage.

Resolving the source of branch length variation in the Y chromosome phylogeny

The paper shows that reference bias causes branch length variation in Y chromosome phylogeny and proposes masking fast-evolving regions to improve accuracy.

KIN: A method to infer relatedness from low-coverage ancient DNA

KIN estimates relatedness from low-coverage ancient DNA by analyzing identical-by-descent segments, accurately classifying up to 3rd-degree relatives and distinguishing siblings from parent-child.

A high-coverage Neandertal genome from Chagyrskaya Cave

The paper reports a high-coverage Neandertal genome from Chagyrskaya Cave, revealing genetic features unique to Neandertals and population structure insights.

Detecting ancient positive selection in humans using extended lineage sorting

This study detects ancient positive selection in humans by identifying genomic regions where Neandertals and Denisovans fall outside present-day human variation, finding evidence for regulatory changes associated with human-specific traits.
