Temporal genomic data hold great potential for studying evolutionary processes such as
speciation. However, sampling across speciation events would, in many cases, require …

Despite decades of research, the roles of climate and humans in driving the dramatic
extinctions of large-bodied mammals during the Late Quaternary period remain contentious …

In 1994, two independent groups extracted DNA from several Pleistocene epoch mammoths
and noted differences among individual specimens,. Subsequently, DNA sequences have …

The genetic divergence time between two species varies substantially across the genome,
conveying important information about the timing and process of speciation. Here we …

Long-held ideas regarding the evolutionary relationships among animals have recently
been upended by sometimes controversial hypotheses based largely on insights from …

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000–3,000 years
ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms …

High-throughput sequencing projects generate genome-scale sequence data for species-
level phylogenies,–. However, state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for inferring timetrees are …

Ancient DNA studies have established that Neolithic European populations were descended
from Anatolian migrants,,,,,,, who received a limited amount of admixture from resident …

Ancient genomes provide a tool to investigate the genetic basis of adaptations in extinct
organisms. However, the identification of species-specific fixed genetic variants requires the …
