Discover how 49 genomes from 17th century St. Mary's City reveal links to millions of living relatives, strong ties to the British Isles, and a novel **IBD** framework for reconstructing colonial identities.
Genome-wide data from Hispaniola reveal a single pre-Ceramic Caribbean ancestry with connections to Central America and northern South America, indicating island-wide continuity and small, structured communities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
