This paper introduces TTNE, a method for inferring recent effective population size trajectories from time-series IBD data, showing improved resolution over methods using contemporaneous samples.

The paper estimates realized relatedness in free-ranging macaques using IBD analysis from low coverage whole genome data, revealing genetic variation within kin classes and cryptic relatives.

ancIBD identifies IBD segments in ancient DNA to detect relatives and migration patterns, revealing long-distance connections and Steppe ancestry spread in Europe.

The paper shows that genetic estimates of Polynesian island settlement dates are biased and reflect later inter-island contacts rather than initial colonization.

hapCon estimates contamination in ancient DNA by analyzing male X chromosomes, outperforming existing tools in low coverage regimes.
