DeepKin predicts relatedness from low-coverage genomes and paleogenomes using CNNs, achieving accuracy >90% with 10K shared SNPs and outperforming READv2.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Neolithic Catalhöyük to show changes in kinship patterns and persistent female roles over time.

This study uses 30 new palaeogenomes to show that Neolithic expansion into Western Anatolia involved both indigenous assimilation and eastern population influx, with cultural diversity decoupled from genetic differences.

This paper compares methods to reduce reference bias and postmortem damage in ancient genome data, finding that graph alignment and bamRefine improve accuracy and genotyped loci.

The paper presents paleogenomes of three Anatolian equids from the 1st millennium BCE, identifying them as the extinct European wild ass, E. hydruntinus, and revealing genetic relationships and diversity loss.

This study benchmarks four kinship estimation tools for ancient genomes using simulated pedigrees and finds varying accuracy depending on the tool and SNP count.

This study analyzes the population history and genetic diversity of Anatolian and Cyprian mouflons compared to other sheep lineages, finding genetic affinity with domestic sheep and disparities in diversity and mutation load.

aMeta is a metagenomic profiling workflow that improves accuracy and reduces memory usage in ancient microbiome analysis.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition, revealing genetic diversity, immigration, and cultural practices such as head-shaping.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Southeast Asian populations to identify Indian genetic heritage and its impact on local populations.

This study shows inbreeding frequency decreased over time in ancient Eurasian populations, linked to population growth from agricultural practices.

The paper uses lexical and genomic data to show evidence of language and genetic relationships among circumpolar language families, with significant signals for Chukotko-Kamchatkan-Nivkh and Yukaghir-Samoyedic connections.

The paper shows Ancient Beringians have admixture from Amur River Basin populations and are not the deepest American lineage.

The paper analyzes ancient and present-day genome-wide data to show widespread Paleo-Eskimo ancestry among Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut language speakers and presents a model for North America's peopling.
