Genomes from people, pathogens, animals and environments reconstructed alongside dates, burials and archaeological context.
Genomes from screened human remains place East Asia within an early plague radiation spanning more than 7,500 kilometers.
Berkeley researchers developed a statistical approach to locate genomic segments contributed by ancient populations that have not been directly sampled.
Genomes from hundreds of burials revealed patrilineal communities and social change. Genetics can map biological relationships, but not every part of identity or culture.
