Infections have imposed strong selection pressures throughout human evolution, making the
study of natural selection's effects on immunity genes highly complementary to disease …

The prevalence of chronic, non-communicable diseases has risen sharply in recent
decades, especially in industrialized countries. While several studies implicate the …

Summary We investigate a 2,000-year genetic transect through Scandinavia spanning the
Iron Age to the present, based on 48 new and 249 published ancient genomes and …

The extent of the devastation of the Black Death pandemic (1346–1353) on European
populations is known from documentary sources and its bacterial source illuminated by …

Genome-wide scans for signals of selection have become a routine part of the analysis of
population genomic variation datasets and have resulted in compelling evidence of …

Lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus, have historically been harvested throughout Atlantic Canada
and are increasingly in demand as a solution to controlling sea lice in Atlantic salmon farms …

The extent of the devastation of the Black Death pandemic (1346-53) on European
populations is known from documentary sources and its bacterial source illuminated by …

Ancient DNA is highly degraded, resulting in very short sequences. Reads generated with
modern high-throughput sequencing machines are generally longer than ancient DNA …

Enterovirus infection and enterovirus infection with severe complications (EVSC) are critical
issues in several aspects. However, there is no suitable predictive tool for these infections. A …

Klunk et al. analyzed ancient DNA data from individuals in London and Denmark before,
during and after the Black Death [1], and argued that allele frequency changes at immune …
