TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced six Early to Middle BA whole genomes, along with 11 mitochondrial genomes, sampled from the three Bronze Age (BA) cultures of the Aegean Sea and found that the early BA genomes are homogeneous and derive most of their ancestry from Neolithic Aegeans, contrary to earlier hypotheses that the Neolithic-EBA cultural transition was due to massive population turnover.

TL;DR: It is found that ancient and modern DNA imputation accuracies were comparable and, for most populations and depths of coverage as low as 0.5x, imputation is a reliable method with potential to expand and improve ancient DNA studies.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors re-sequenced an ancient trio (mother, father, son) and downsample and impute a total of 43 ancient genomes, including 42 high-coverage (above 10x) genomes.

TL;DR: Mapache is a flexible, robust, and scalable pipeline to map, quantify and impute ancient and present-day DNA in a reproducible way, allowing to efficiently (re)map large data sets such as reference panels and multiple extracts and libraries.
