The paper develops a computational method to analyze low-quality archaic human genomes and applies it to the Teshik-Tash 1 Neandertal, showing genetic similarity to later Western Eurasian Neandertals.

The paper develops a method to infer directional migration rates from ancient DNA data using time-dependent F2 statistics, revealing an ancient pan-European migration network.

This paper presents a second high-quality Denisovan genome from a 200,000-year-old molar, revealing genetic contributions from multiple Denisovan groups and refining the Denisovan genetic lineage.

The paper analyzes Neandertal ancestry in over 300 genomes to determine the timing and impact of gene flow from Neandertals to modern humans.

This paper presents a joint statistical framework combining PCA and F-statistics to analyze population structure, showing how they align and differ under various assumptions.

KIN estimates relatedness from low-coverage ancient DNA by analyzing identical-by-descent segments, accurately classifying up to 3rd-degree relatives and distinguishing siblings from parent-child.

The paper analyzes genome-wide variation in the Massim region of Papua New Guinea, finding genetic patterns linked to the Kula trading tradition and suggesting genetic similarity among Kula-practicing groups.

The paper reports a high-coverage Neandertal genome from Chagyrskaya Cave, revealing genetic features unique to Neandertals and population structure insights.

The paper identifies a genetic variant associated with cold adaptation in humans, showing a latitudinal cline and linking it to migraine prevalence.
