Hepatitis B Virus Genotype D: An Overview of Molecular Epidemiology, Evolutionary History, and Clinical Characteristics by Thaís B. Sant’Anna, Natalia M. Araujo

“…We have additionally explored recent paleogenomic findings, which facilitated the detection of HBV/D genomes dating back to the late Iron Age and provided new perspectives on the origins of modern HBV/D strains. …”

Convergent Mutations and Single Nucleotide Variants in Mitochondrial Genomes of Modern Humans and Neanderthals by Renata C. Ferreira, Camila R. Rodrigues, James R. Broach, Marcelo R. S. Briones

“…The genetic contributions of Neanderthals to the modern human genome have been evidenced by the comparison of present-day human genomes with paleogenomes. Neanderthal signatures in extant human genomes are attributed to intercrosses between Neanderthals and archaic anatomically modern humans (AMHs). …”

Domestication of farmed fish via the attenuation of stress responses mediated by the hypothalamus–pituitary–inter-renal endocrine axis by Yao Lu, Chuang Shi, Chuang Shi, Xia Jin, Jiangyan He, Zhan Yin, Zhan Yin, Zhan Yin, Zhan Yin

“…Over recent decades, growing evidence implicating the attenuation of the HPA/I axis during the domestication of animals have been identified through comprehensive genomic analyses of the paleogenomic datasets of wild progenitors and their domestic congeners. …”

Historical and Modern Classifications of the Plague Agent by G. A. Eroshenko, L. M. Kukleva, V. V. Kutyrev

“…The review presents the data on domestic and foreign phenotypic classifications of Yersinia pestis strains developed in the XX century; genetic classifications of the XXI century; as well as on the genealogy of ancient strains of the plague microbe, reconstructed using paleogenomic technologies. Since the discovery of the plague agent in 1894, many classifications were created that corresponded to the level of development of microbiology at that time. …”

Genome-wide analysis of nearly all the victims of a 6200 year old massacre. by Mario Novak, Iñigo Olalde, Harald Ringbauer, Nadin Rohland, James Ahern, Jacqueline Balen, Ivor Janković, Hrvoje Potrebica, Ron Pinhasi, David Reich

“…Paleogenomic and bioanthropological studies of ancient massacres have highlighted sites where the victims were male and plausibly died all in battle, or were executed members of the same family as might be expected from a killing intentionally directed at subsets of a community, or where the massacred individuals were plausibly members of a migrant community in conflict with previously established groups, or where there was evidence that the killing was part of a religious ritual. …”

5000 years of dietary variations of prehistoric farmers in the Great Hungarian Plain. by Beatriz Gamarra, Rachel Howcroft, Ashley McCall, János Dani, Zsigmond Hajdú, Emese Gyöngyvér Nagy, László D Szabó, László Domboróczki, Ildikó Pap, Pál Raczky, Antónia Marcsik, Zsuzsanna K Zoffmann, Tamás Hajdu, Robin N M Feeney, Ron Pinhasi

“…Although there has been considerable research into the dietary changes associated with the initial spread of farming, less attention has been given to how dietary choices continued to develop during subsequent millennia. A paleogenomic time transect for 5 millennia of human occupation in the Great Hungarian Plain spanning from the advent of the Neolithic to the Iron Age, showed major genomic turnovers. …”

Incidence of ancient variants associated with oncological diseases in modern populations by Draga Toncheva, Maria Marinova, Plamenka Borovska, Dimitar Serbezov

“…Data on germline mutations in tumour suppressor genes in ancient human genomes are scarce and their historic prevalence gives insights into the evolution of predisposition to cancer disease and hence helps advance paleogenomic medicine.…”

Ancient exaptation of a CORE-SINE retroposon into a highly conserved mammalian neuronal enhancer of the proopiomelanocortin gene. by Andrea M Santangelo, Flávio S J de Souza, Lucía F Franchini, Viviana F Bumaschny, Malcolm J Low, Marcelo Rubinstein

“…Following an in silico paleogenomic strategy based on genome-wide searches for paralog sequences, we discovered that opossum and wallaby nPE2 sequences are highly similar to members of the superfamily of CORE-short interspersed nucleotide element (SINE) retroposons, in particular to MAR1 retroposons that are widely present in marsupial genomes. …”
