Tracking the movement of both mammoths and native Alaskans reveals their interactions.

Ancient metagenome communities can be used to track macro-ecological changes

A high-quality 14th C. CE Brucella melitensis genome points to a speciation event contemporaneous to sheep domestication.

Genes that protected our ancestors from Black Death make us more susceptible to autoimmune disorders today

It is the first ancient genome of Escherichia coli and was also responsible for creating several gallstones.

No bones about it: assembling mitochondrial genomes of Pleistocene fauna over 40,000 years from open-air sediments allows for the phylogenetic analysis of multiple megafauna despite the absence of macro-biological tissues.

Ancient environmental DNA reconstructs the Pleistocene-Holocene ecological transition using permafrost sediments from central Yukon and finds evidence for the mid-Holocene survival of horse and woolly mammoth
