This study analyzes the oral microbiome of King Richard III using dental calculus metagenomics, finding it similar to other northern European populations despite his royal status and diet.

The paper adds standardized radiocarbon dating information to the AncientMetagenomeDir dataset, highlighting inconsistencies in radiocarbon reporting across ancient metagenomic studies.

This study analyzes genetic data from Austronesian and Austroasiatic groups in Vietnam to determine whether language spread was due to demic or cultural diffusion, finding evidence of both.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Wallacea to show multiple human dispersals, with southern islands showing earlier Asian contributions than previously thought.

PyDamage automatically identifies and estimates DNA damage in ancient DNA contigs to distinguish ancient from modern contamination in metagenomic datasets.

The paper curates and standardizes metadata for ancient metagenomic samples to improve data retrieval and interoperability.

The paper analyzes genetic variation in Hmong-Mien and Sino-Tibetan groups from Thailand, finding cultural practices like patrilocality and matrilocality influence mtDNA and MSY lineage frequencies.

The paper examines mtDNA heteroplasmy sharing between human liver lobes, finding higher sharing in the control region and suggesting selection influences this pattern.

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 Y chromosome and mtDNA variation in southwestern Angola to explore the impact of matrilineality on genetic diversity and population history.

The paper investigates the genetic history of southern African populations, finding an eastern African origin for Y-chromosome haplogroup E1b1b and significant sex-biased gene flow during the Bantu expansion.

The paper analyzes NRY and mtDNA data from Northwestern Amazonia to show how cultural practices like exogamy and residential rules influence genetic diversity patterns and demographic history.

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 maternal and paternal genetic variation in Thai hunter-gatherer groups, finding distinct haplogroup patterns and suggesting a recent origin for the Mlabri population.

This paper analyzes Y chromosome sequences from southern African populations to refine the human Y chromosome phylogeny, identifying new haplogroups and estimating older divergence dates.
