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 reconstructs the evolutionary history of ancient Salmonella enterica using 53 new genomes, revealing host adaptation events and convergent evolution in pathogenic lineages.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from the South Caucasus over 5000 years, showing genetic continuity despite high mobility and admixture from Anatolia, the steppe, and southern populations.

This study introduces a Y-chromosome capture assay (YMCA) to improve NRY coverage and haplogroup resolution, revealing new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe.

This study integrates isotopic and genomic data from Tell Atchana to examine human mobility during the 2nd millennium BC, finding limited individual mobility despite high regional interaction.
