The paper compares damage correction methods for ancient DNA libraries to assess their impact on imputation and kinship inference.

This study analyzes 42 genomes from Jomon hunter-gatherers to show they adapted to cold environments through positive selection during the Last Glacial Maximum.

This study applies nanopore sequencing to ancient DNA from the Early Jomon period, demonstrating its ability to generate genome-wide data and enable rapid, on-site paleogenomic analysis.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Classic Copan, revealing a genetic continuum with dual ancestral structure between Mesoamerican and South American Farmer ancestry.

The paper analyzes the genome of a Jomon individual to infer migration patterns into East Asia, finding multiple waves and a coastal route from Southeast Asia.

This paper introduces a new targeted capture method, BDC, using BAC libraries as baits for sequencing large genes, showing it is cost-effective and maintains data quality comparable to commercial kits.

The paper analyzes ancient mitochondrial DNA from Verteba Cave, Ukraine, to study the genetic origins and demographic history of the Tripolye Culture, finding low mtDNA diversity and evidence of demographic expansion during peak occupation.
