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 analyze the evolution of Streptococcus mutans over 8,000 years, showing that some virulence traits emerged with agricultural diets.

This study identifies loci under selection in Latin American admixed populations, distinguishing between pre- and post-admixture selection, and finds signals related to immunity and energy metabolism.

The paper evaluates prediction accuracy for eye, hair, and skin pigmentation in admixed Latin Americans using genomic and phenotypic data, finding that Random Forest and regression perform best, and that pigmentation SNPs improve accuracy, especially for skin color.

This study analyzes the genetic structure of 177 individuals from the Andes, Amazonia, and Pacific Coast of South America, revealing complex ancestry patterns and recent gene flow across regions.

The paper analyzes ancestry in Latin Americans using haplotype-based methods, finding widespread Converso ancestry and links between Native ancestry and facial features.
