Abstract. Ancient DNA extracted from the sediments of archaeological sites (sedaDNA) can provide fine-grained information about the composition of past eco

A pipeline for the analysis of sedimentary ancient mtDNA. - mpieva/quicksand

Abstract. Bovines have a complex yet poorly understood evolutionary history that is characterized by admixture and diversity loss during the Late Pleistoce

Pair of studies shines light on how modern humans and Neanderthals settled the continent together

Nature - Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture

Pair of studies shines light on how modern humans and Neanderthals settled the continent together

Gene flow from Neanderthals has shaped genetic and phenotypic variation in modern humans. We generated a catalog of Neanderthal ancestry segments in more than 300 genomes spanning the past 50,000 year...

A new method to extract DNA from ancient objects could reveal secrets about the lives of humanity's earliest ancestors. A team of archaeologists and genetici...
