The paper infers human pigmentation traits from ancient DNA by evaluating genotype likelihoods across 348 ancient Eurasian genomes, revealing non-linear and slow changes in skin, eye, and hair color over 45,000 years.

Low-ABC improves demographic inference from low-coverage whole-genome data by using genotype likelihoods instead of called genotypes, enabling reliable analysis of population history.

This paper introduces an ABC framework using FDSS to infer complex population histories from whole-genome data, showing its effectiveness in distinguishing evolutionary models.

The paper analyzes paternal and maternal genetic histories of Thai and Lao populations, finding contrasting patterns of male and female genetic variation and demographic expansions.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial DNA from Longobard-era cemeteries to study genetic continuity and admixture during medieval migrations in Europe.

The paper analyzes ancient genomic DNA from two cemeteries associated with the Longobards to study social organization and migration patterns in 6th-century Europe.

The paper analyzes additional mtDNA sequences from Thailand and Laos to explore the genetic history of Tai-Kadai and Sino-Tibetan-speaking populations in Mainland Southeast Asia, finding evidence for both demic diffusion and admixture.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes from Thai and Lao populations to determine whether Tai-Kadai languages spread via demic or cultural diffusion, finding support for demic diffusion and genetic differentiation within ethnolinguistic groups.

The paper uses genomic data to show that early modern human dispersal from Africa involved multiple waves, with Australo-Melanesian populations retaining an ancient divergence signature.
