This study investigates the genomic basis of evolutionary stasis in the ancient red seaweed genus Ahnfeltia by analyzing chromosome-scale genomes and population genomics.

The paper presents a Yersinia pestis genome from a Bronze Age sheep, showing it belongs to a lineage previously only found in ancient humans and suggests transmission via livestock.

This study uses population genomics to identify genetic groups in the scaly-foot snail, highlighting conservation priorities amid deep-sea mining threats.

The paper analyzes genome data from Plecia longiforceps to study its range expansion and adaptation, finding deep population divergence and genetic signatures of local adaptation.

This study reanalyzes ancient and present-day Siberian genomes to trace the genetic history of Siberian ancestry and its connections to Native Americans and other populations.

The paper uses genome-wide data to analyze the genetic relationships of six early Medieval Korean individuals buried together in a jar coffin, finding they form an extended family with no significant genetic change over 1,500 years.

This study reconstructs the 6,000-year genetic history of the Eastern Steppe using ancient genomes, revealing pastoralist expansions, population structuring, and the emergence of the Xiongnu and Mongols.

Genome-wide and isotopic data from prehistoric Sicilians reveal a pre-farming connection to (south-) eastern Europe, and tentative initial evidence that hunter-gatherers adopted some Neolithic aspects prior to near-total replacement by early farmers.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Anatolia to show genetic continuity between hunter-gatherers and early farmers, suggesting limited migration in the origin of farming in central Anatolia.

The paper analyzes genetic data from prehistoric individuals in the North Caucasus to explore the origins of Eurasian steppe ancestry and its relationship to cultural innovations.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Finland and Northwest Russia to show Siberian ancestry in northern Europe dates back 3,500 years and influenced modern Uralic-speaking populations.

The paper identifies genetic evidence of positive and negative selection in Tibetan women from Nepal related to reproductive traits and offspring survival.

This study analyzes genome-wide data from inner Eurasian populations to characterize genetic admixture patterns and their historical context.

The paper analyzes ancient and present-day genome-wide data to show widespread Paleo-Eskimo ancestry among Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut language speakers and presents a model for North America's peopling.
