Researchers from the Centre for Palaeogenetics at Stockholm University have recovered a woolly rhino genome from the stomach of an Ice Age wolf.

DNA can now be extracted and sequenced directly from cave sediments rather than relying on bones, This is transforming palaeogenetics.

The early histories of smallpox and measles – and the insight they might offer to contemporary health and medicine – will be under the microscope of a new research project. Pustules, Palaeogenetics an...

Using new samples as well as already generated high-coverage genomes, the project will develop and apply novel methods to detect structural variants in ancient DNA and explore their functional consequ...

The Nobel Prize winner in Medicine is investigating genetic changes that could have given our species a competitive advantage, and the possibility of extracting the genome of the Flores hobbit

In a landmark scientific breakthrough, an international consortium led by researchers at the Centre for Palaeogenetics has successfully extracted and analyzed microbial DNA from mammoth remains estimated to be over one million years old. This achievement represents one of the oldest collections of microbial genetic material ever recovered and opens unprecedented avenues for studying the symbiotic and pathogenic relationships between extinct megafauna and their microbiomes.

Genome-wide sequencing of 180 ancient individuals shows a continuous gradient of ancestry in Early-to-Mid-Holocene hunter-gatherers from the Baltic to the Transbaikal region and distinct contemporaneo...
