Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

The domestication of animals led to a major shift in human subsistence patterns, from a
hunter–gatherer to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, which ultimately resulted in the …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to
what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the world's most important food crops, and is comprised largely
of japonica and indica subspecies. Here, we reconstruct the history of rice dispersal in Asia …

Modern humans expanded into Eurasia more than 40,000 years ago following their
dispersal out of Africa. These Eurasians carried~ 2–3% Neanderthal ancestry in their …

The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and
Southwest Asia, as well as the processes and the timing of their differentiation, remain …

Our understanding of prehistoric societal organization at the family level is still limited. Here,
we generated genome data from 32 individuals from an approximately 3,800-y-old burial …

A cattle pangenome representation was created based on the genome sequences of 898
cattle representing 57 breeds. The pangenome identified 83 Mb of sequence not found in …

Indicine cattle, also referred to as zebu (Bos taurus indicus), play a central role in pastoral
communities across a wide range of agro-ecosystems, from extremely hot semiarid regions …
