Genome-wide patterns of selection in 230 ancient Eurasians (2015, background): “At least 14 kurgans were counted, and four were excavated (1, 2, 10, 11).”
Ancient DNA (2019, background): “For the most sensitive samples, many reagents can be decontaminated using UV irradiation and heat-labile dsDNase treatment [31].”
Demographic History and Genetic Adaptation in the Himalayan Region Inferred from Genome-Wide SNP Genotypes of 49 Populations (2018, background): “…hunter-gatherer (MA1,24,000-yearold Upper Palaeolithic Siberian) (Raghavan et al. 2014); 2) Bronze Age Yamnaya population (3,500–2,700 year old) (Allentoft et al. 2015); 3) Neolithic European farmer (LBK_EN, 5,500–4,800 year old) (Haak et al. 2015); 4) Mesolithic hunter-gatherer (La Bra~na,…”
Ancient DNA and the rewriting of human history: be sparing with Occam’s razor (2016, background): “In particular, selection on immune genes was believed to have been increased by the spread of diseases after the Neolithic due to dense settlements and proximity to domesticated animals. aDNA from Mesolithic Europeans shows, however, that adaptive variants associated with pathogen resistance in mode”
From the field to the laboratory: Controlling DNA contamination in human ancient DNA research in the high-throughput sequencing era (2017, positive): “Although some of the latest aDNA research is embedded in large-scale population studies (Allentoft et al. 2015; Mathieson et al. 2015; Haak et al. 2015; Fu et al. 2016; Lazaridis et al. 2016), ancient genomic studies also provide powerful insights into physical anthropology and archaeology, such as…”
Single‐tube library preparation for degraded DNA (2017, methodology): “Purification was done using 700 L modified PB binding buffer (Allentoft et al. 2015) and centrifugation at 6,000 × g.”
