This study analyzes ancient Iberian sheep genomes to show how human activities shaped their genetic diversity over 7,000 years, including maritime introduction, Steppe ancestry influx, and Roman-era expansion.

This study compares ancient DNA yields among ossicles and the petrous bone, finding the stapes has higher endogenous DNA preservation than the petrous bone.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Neolithic Catalhöyük to show changes in kinship patterns and persistent female roles over time.

This study uses 30 new palaeogenomes to show that Neolithic expansion into Western Anatolia involved both indigenous assimilation and eastern population influx, with cultural diversity decoupled from genetic differences.

The paper identifies age-specific burial practices at Neolithic Catalhöyük by analyzing ancient DNA preservation differences between subadults and adults.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from two Early Chalcolithic individuals from the West Mound, finding no close genetic kinship and no eastern gene flow signature.

The paper presents paleogenomes of three Anatolian equids from the 1st millennium BCE, identifying them as the extinct European wild ass, E. hydruntinus, and revealing genetic relationships and diversity loss.

This study analyzes the population history and genetic diversity of Anatolian and Cyprian mouflons compared to other sheep lineages, finding genetic affinity with domestic sheep and disparities in diversity and mutation load.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition, revealing genetic diversity, immigration, and cultural practices such as head-shaping.

MTaxi classifies closely related species from low coverage ancient DNA data using mitochondrial DNA substitutions, achieving 100% accuracy on tested samples.

This study shows inbreeding frequency decreased over time in ancient Eurasian populations, linked to population growth from agricultural practices.
