TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000-3,000 years ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report genome-wide DNA data from 38 ancient North Europeans ranging from ~9500 to 2200 years before present, and reveal that the first Scandinavian farmers derive their ancestry from Anatolia 1000 years earlier than previously demonstrated.

TL;DR: Comparing genetic data from ancient and modern-day populations revealed significant changes in the mitochondrial makeup of North East Europeans through time, which suggests an important role of post-Mesolithic migrations from Western Europe and subsequent population replacement/extinctions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the genetic makeup of northern Europe was shaped by migrations from Siberia that began at least 3500 years ago, and Siberian ancestry was subsequently admixed into many modern populations in the region, particularly into populations speaking Uralic languages today.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported ancient DNA data from seven individuals exhumed from two cemeteries, Kara-Djigach and Burana, in modern-day Kyrgyzstan.
