PIGSTI detects species identity, pathogens, and microbes in ancient animal genomic data, identifying 15 zoonotic pathogens including Rickettsia felis and Leptospira borgpetersenii.

The paper analyzes palaeogenomes of Neolithic sheep and goats to show that Mediterranean dispersal caused genetic bottlenecks, reducing effective population sizes and increasing homozygosity in Iberian livestock.

The paper uses genetic and proteomics analysis on archaeological remains to trace genetic connectivity and inbreeding in Irish goats over 3,000 years.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from a 7,000-year-old goat leather specimen, revealing its domestic goat origin and genetic connections to modern Iberian breeds, while also identifying human and canid DNA fragments.

This paper uses genotype imputation to analyze low coverage ancient goat genomes, revealing demographic patterns and genetic consequences of domestication.

The paper imputes diploid genotypes from low-coverage ancient cattle genomes using a modern reference panel, achieving high accuracy and SNP recovery across different downsample depths.
