Since the early Holocene, western and central Europe was inhabited by a genetically distinct group of Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHGs). This eventually replaced assimilated incoming Neolithic farmers. The Atlantic façade home to some last Mesolithic sites mainland Europe, represented iconic open-air at Hoedic Téviec in southern Brittany, France. These are known for unusually well-preserved rich burials. Genomic studies European hunter-gatherers have been limited single or few individuals per...
Abstract The possibility to obtain genome-wide ancient DNA data from multiple individuals has facilitated an unprecedented perspective into prehistoric societies. Studying biological relatedness in these groups requires tailored approaches for analyzing due its low coverage, post-mortem damage, and potential ascertainment bias. Here we present READv2 (Relatedness Estimation Ancient version 2), improved Python 3 re-implementation of the most widely used tool this purpose. While providing...
Abstract The advent of genome-wide ancient DNA analysis has revolutionized our understanding prehistoric societies. However, studying biological relatedness in these groups requires tailored approaches due to the challenges analyzing DNA. READv2, an optimized Python3 implementation most widely used tool for this purpose, addresses while surpassing its predecessor speed and accuracy. For sufficient amounts data, it can classify up third-degree differentiate between two types first-degree...
