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 …

Recent advancements in DNA sequencing technologies and laboratory preparation
protocols have rapidly expanded the scope of ancient DNA research over the past decade …

More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early
European farmers (EEF) than did people of the Early Bronze Age 1. To understand this, here …

Long DNA segments shared between two individuals, known as identity-by-descent (IBD),
reveal recent genealogical connections. Here we introduce ancIBD, a method for identifying …

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 …

Glaring health disparities have reinvigorated debate about the relevance of race to health,
including how race should and should not be used as a variable in research and …

Abstract In European and many African, Middle Eastern and southern Asian populations,
lactase persistence (LP) is the most strongly selected monogenic trait to have evolved over …

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in
Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic …

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect …
