Quick reminder that we keep maintaining an #aDNA paper directory here: https://papers.poseidon-adna.org
It lists publications with ancient human whole genome sequencing samples from around the world, and documents if the respective data is available in any of our public archives.

If you would like to add missing papers you can just edit this list: https://github.com/poseidon-framework/paper-directory/blob/main/list.csv with a pull request on GitHub. Just add the DOI and the number of human WGS aDNA samples that worked for a given paper.

Last year the Time Team and friends excavated a double burial in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Cherington. This was a follow on from a previous dig where, on the last day of course, they found the sword the young boy was holding.

ADNA analysis has shown that the young boy and teen girl buried together were siblings, and the excavation shows they were likely buried at the same time.

Szymanski et al. developed quicksand, an open-source Nextflow pipeline designed for rapid and accurate taxonomic classification of mammalian mitochondrial DNA in sedimentary ancient DNA samples.

Gilardet et al. extracted ancient DNA from bovine bones in the Denisova cave to characterize Pleistocene bovine diversity, identifying the Altai Mountains as a hotspot for bovine diversity.

Eine #aDNA Studie aus dem jungsteinzeitlichen Çatalhöyük (#Türkei) zeigt, dass dort die mütterliche Linie relevant war, wer in einem Haus beigesetzt wurde. Die Bewohner*innen waren also #matrilokal. Zudem wurden weiblichen Skeletten durchschnittlich bis zu 5x mehr Grabbeigben mitgegeben als männlichen. Die Forschenden zeigten ebenfalls, dass über die ca. 1.000jährige Besiedlung zunehmend auch nicht direkt Verwandte in die Haushalte aufgenommen wurden. #Neolithikum

There's bit of discussion about wether freshly published #aDNA 🏺🧬 data from #Catalhöyük allows talking about a matrilineally organised Neolithic community there or not - and well, of course I couldn't help but join having an opinion:

To be fair, until further finds #aDNA 🏺🧬 was our best chance here for lack of comparison - afaik this is the first and only #Denisovan skull we got. So far.

The dragon's out of the bag:

#aDNA gives 146,000 y/o unusual sized and shaped skull of #HomoLongi (a.k.a. #DragonMan), originally found in 1933 in #China and rediscovered in 2018, away as actually: #Denisovan!

Although we published this paper on genetic decline in Iberian wolves using historic DNA a couple of years ago, they just added some "highlights" because it is so highly viewed

-Although the population of wolves increased in the last 50 years, the genetic diversity decreased.

-The current number of wolves in the Iberian Peninsula may not be enough to maintain genetic diversity.

Been hinted at by material culture before, now early trans-Mediterranean #SeaVoyaging 🛶 is backed by #aDNA 🏺🧬, showing that #Neoltihic populations living in eastern #Maghreb about 8,000 years ago were descended, in part, from European hunter-gatherers:

Great @ConversationUS piece in which R. Pope not only discusses the recent #aDNA 🏺🧬 evidence of #IronAge #matrilocality in Dorset (SW England), but also the whole 165+ year old archaeological debate about #matriarchal societies:

Interested in #OpenScience & the state of #DataArchiving in ancient #genomics research (maybe a bit niche, but still 😉)?

My colleagues Anders Bergström, Tina Warinner, & I, all working in #aDNA have published an invited commentary piece describing the challenges in both sequencing data & #metadata archiving. We propose some solutions (some active!) to improve adherence to #FAIR in #palaeogenomics. We hope some may be a model for the wider #ArchaeologicalSciences field.
