This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding to analyze Iron Age courtyard and cooking pit sites, identifying plant and animal taxa and highlighting challenges from bioturbation and root penetration.

The paper uses sedimentary ancient DNA to analyze the timing of plant and animal arrivals in northeast Greenland, showing muskox arrived before humans and environmental changes coincided with cultural periods.

This study compares metabarcoding, shotgun sequencing, and capture probes for detecting plant taxa in lake sediments, finding metabarcoding has the lowest false positive rate and highest detection rate.

This study shows that central-core samples in small lakes capture more taxonomic richness than marginal samples, improving sedimentary DNA-based vegetation representation.

This paper uses shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct population genomic data for the algae Nannochloropsis from lake sediment samples dated to the Last Glacial Maximum.
