TL;DR

Analysis of a markedly larger, higher-coverage, and geographically diverse whole-genome sequencing dataset from 529 ancient individuals sheds important light on the demographic impact of major sociohistorical changes that occurred during the late Medieval period in Scandinavia and the Baltic region and link Christianisation to increased diversity in ancestry before the pandemic.

The Genomic Landscape of Post-Black Death Epidemics in Northern Europe and the Caucasus

23 new Y. pestis genomes recovered from Second Plague Pandemic contexts across Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Iceland, and Armenia are reported and clade-defining mutations are identified, including nonsynonymous changes in metabolic and biofilm-related genes with predicted structural effects that may have contributed t...

Tracing the evolution and diversity of human parvovirus B19 across human history.

Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) is an ubiquitously spread, exclusively human pathogen, mainly posing risks to children, as well as pregnant and immunocompromised individuals. Despite evidence of B19V infection of human populations as far back as 7,000 years, the evolutionary history of B19V remains poorly understood. In th...

A prehistoric East-Asian Yersinia pestis genome and a ~5.3 ka trans-Eurasian expansion of plague

Mapping variation onto the deep phylogeny showed that the basal stem of the LNBA⁺ lineage is the only one of the seven deep phases examined to show significant enrichment of disruptive genomic remodeling relative to the genome-wide background distribution of mutation categories, consistent with an early episode of adap...

Integrated molecular, epidemiological, and bioinformatics perspectives on the Mpox virus: Implications for surveillance and Global Health preparedness.

Mpox has re-emerged as a significant global zoonotic threat, driven mainly by two large waves the 2022 worldwide Clade IIb outbreak and the 2024 Clade Ib epidemic in Central Africa. This review examines the challenges of interpreting this evolving virus from molecular, epidemiological, and bioinformatics perspectives,...

How one small tribe conquered the world 70,000 years ago

The discovery of three discrete levels of language comprehension in modern individuals suggests the possibility that this ancestral tribe experienced a leap from the Modifier to the Syntactic Phenotype, unlocking unprecedented capacities for coordination, strategizing, and deception.

Genetic Variability and Evolutionary Dynamics of A(H1N1)pdm09 in Italy Before, During, and After the COVID-19 Pandemic

Overall, Italian A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses exhibited reduced genetic diversity, limited evidence of positive selection, and coordinated genomic restructuring following the pandemic, which reinforces the importance of sustained genomic surveillance for anticipating evolutionary changes and informing evidence-based public hea...
