GhostBuster Reveals Deep Ancestry Waves Shaping Humans
A new ghost-population framework uncovers deep admixture events, linking back-to-Africa migrations and ancient lineages that shaped modern human genetics and trait diversity.
Understanding G25 Coordinates in DNA Ancestry Analysis
G25 coordinates provide a compact, multidimensional view of how your DNA sits relative to reference populations in genetic space. Learn how they work, how to interpret distances, and why they are exploratory tools—not definitive ancestry labels.
Understanding ADMIXTURE Analysis: What It Shows and Limits
ADMIXTURE analysis models genome-wide SNP data as mixtures of inferred components to reveal population structure. Learn how it works, how to interpret results, and why it is not a direct ancestry report.
ancIBD in Ancient DNA: Detecting IBD Segments Across Time
Uncover how ancIBD detects long identity by descent segments in low-coverage ancient genomes to map kinship networks and the movement of peoples across Eurasia.
Preservation scoring guides elephant mammoth DNA detection
An integrated, field-friendly workflow combines color-based preservation scoring with short amplicon qPCR and Nanopore sequencing to rapidly identify elephant and mammoth DNA from ivory, bone, and teeth.
Thar Desert Genetics: Migration, Culture and Indus Craft Imprint
Eight craft communities in the Thar Desert reveal a genetic crossroads shaped by migration, ecology, and enduring culture. Explore how ancestry and regional history meet in DNA.
Corded Ware in SE Poland: Genomic and Isotopic Evidence of Complexity
New genomic and isotopic analysis of Corded Ware burials in south-eastern Poland reveals maternal Neolithic continuity, paternal Steppe input, kinship networks, and mobility, reshaping our view of Central European prehistory.
European Origins of Ashkenazi Maternal Lineages Revealed
New research shows most Ashkenazi maternal lineages trace to prehistoric Europe, reshaping our view of Jewish ancestry. Discover what this means for your DNA story.
DNA Ancestry: Neolithic Admixture in Kuyavia, Poland
New ancient DNA from Kuyavia, Poland reveals recurring hunter-farmer admixture across three millennia, with limited steppe input and persistent hunter-gatherer pockets shaping European ancestry.
Population Genomics of Post-Glacial Western Eurasia and Migrations
A sweeping genomic study across Mesolithic to Neolithic Western Eurasia reveals a great divide, spectacular migrations, and lasting impacts on modern DNA. Learn how ancient movements shaped today’s ancestry.
Athens Plague Revisited: Invasive Salmonella DNA Evidence
Multidisciplinary evidence from history, archaeology, and ancient DNA points to an invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella etiology for the Plague of Athens, offering fresh insights for ancestry and pathogen archaeology.
Ashkenazi Genome Panel Reveals Jewish European Origins
Sequencing 128 Ashkenazi genomes yields a population-targeted reference panel, boosting ancestry inferences and clinical variant interpretation for Ashkenazi individuals. A deep dive into history and genetics.
