LAYERED GENOMIC COMPOSITION AND LINGUISTIC CONTINUITY IN GRECIA SALENTINA

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze the genetic structure of a Greek-speaking community in Southern Italy, finding no strong evidence for external origins and supporting a model of continuous gene flow.

The arrival of the Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy predates the onset of the Roman Empire

This study shows that Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy arrived during the late Republican period, before the Roman Empire began.

The Genomic portrait of the Picene culture: new insights into the Italic Iron Age and the legacy of the Roman expansion in Central Italy.

The paper analyzes genomic data from the Picene culture to explore genetic continuity and change during the Iron Age and Roman expansion in Central Italy.

Echoes from the last Green Sahara: whole genome analysis of Fulani, a key population to unveil the genetic evolutionary history of Africa

The paper analyzes whole genome data from Fulani individuals to explore their genetic origins, suggesting a possible link to ancient Saharan populations rather than recent Eurasian admixture.

Genetic analysis of Sephardic ancestry in the Iberian Peninsula

The paper analyzes genome-wide SNP data to assess Sephardic ancestry in Iberian Peninsula populations and surrounding regions, finding evidence of recent Sephardic admixture and challenges in ancestry assignment.
