“A Network of Mutualities of Being”: Socio-material Archaeological Networks and Biological Ties at Çatalhöyük
Mazzucato, Camilla; Coscia, Michele; Küçükakdağ Doğu, Ayça; Haddow, Scott; Kılıç, Muhammed Sıddık; YÜNCÜ, EREN; Somel, Mehmet (2025-03-01)
Recent advances in archaeogenomics have granted access to previously unavailable biological information with the potential to further our understanding of past social dynamics at a range of scales. However, to properly int...
Pre-processing of paleogenomes: mitigating reference bias and postmortem damage in ancient genome data
Koptekin, Dilek; Yapar, Etka; Vural, Kıvılcım Başak; Sağlıcan, Ekin; ALTINIŞIK, NEFİZE EZGİ; Malaspinas, Anna-Sapfo; Alkan, Can; Somel, Mehmet (2025-01-09)
We investigate alternative strategies against reference bias and postmortem damage in low coverage paleogenomes. Compared to alignment to the linear reference genome, we show that masking known polymorphic sites and graph ...
Genomic Variation in Vitis Vinifera, from Extant to Contemporary Varieties
Kaya, Zeki; Değirmenci, Funda Özdemir; Yorulmaz, Sevgi; Vural, Kıvılcım B.; Luke, Christina; Roosevelt, Christopher H.; Somel, Mehmet; Neale, David B. (2025-01-01)
Ancient DNA (aDNA) of 3500-year-old charred grapevine (Vitis vinifera) seed material excavated from the archaeological site of Kaymakçı, Gölmarmara, Türkiye, was subjected to whole genome shotgun sequencing using next-gene...
READv2: advanced and user-friendly detection of biological relatedness in archaeogenomics
Alaçamlı, Erkin; Naidoo, Thijessen; Güler, Murat; Sağlıcan, Ekin; Aktürk, Şevval; Mapelli, Igor; Vural, Kıvılcım Başak; Somel, Mehmet; Malmström, Helena; Günther, Torsten (2024-12-01)
The advent of genome-wide ancient DNA analysis has revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric societies. However, studying biological relatedness in these groups requires tailored approaches due to the challenges of a...
Patterns of Neolithization in the Aegean: A synthesis of Material Culture and a-DNA Evidence
Atakuman, Çiğdem; KARAMURAT, CANSU; GEMİCİ, HASAN CAN; Koptekin, Dilek; Somel, Mehmet (2024-11-08)
The Population History of Domestic Sheep Revealed by Paleogenomes.
Kaptan, Damla; et. al. (2024-10-04)
Sheep was one of the first domesticated animals in Neolithic West Eurasia. The zooarchaeological record suggests that domestication first took place in Southwest Asia, although much remains unresolved about the precise loc...
An explanation for the sister repulsion phenomenon in Patterson's f-statistics
Atag, Gozde; Waldman, Shamam; Carmi, Shai; Somel, Mehmet (2024-09-18)
Patterson's f-statistics are among the most heavily utilized tools for analyzing genome-wide allele frequency data for demographic inference. Beyond studying admixture, f3- and f4-statistics are also used for clustering po...
Investigating food production-associated DNA methylation changes in paleogenomes: Lack of consistent signals beyond technical noise
Çokoğlu, Sevim Seda; Koptekin, Dilek; Fidan, Fatma Rabia; Somel, Mehmet (2024-07-01)
The Neolithic transition introduced major diet and lifestyle changes to human populations across continents. Beyond well-documented bioarcheological and genetic effects, whether these changes also had molecular-level epige...
The first complete genome of the extinct European wild ass (Equus hemionus hydruntinus)
Özkan, Mustafa; et. al. (2024-07-01)
We present palaeogenomes of three morphologically unidentified Anatolian equids dating to the first millennium BCE, sequenced to a coverage of 0.6–6.4×. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes of the Anatolian individuals clustered w...
Ancient Sheep Genomes Reveal Four Millennia of North European Short-Tailed Sheep in the Baltic Sea Region
Larsson, Martin N. A; Morell Miranda, Pedro; Pan, Li; Başak Vural, Klvllclm; Kaptan, Damla; Rodrigues Soares, André Elias; Kivikero, Hanna; Kantanen, Juha; Somel, Mehmet; ÖZER, FÜSUN; Johansson, Anna M; Storå, Jan; Günther, Torsten (2024-06-01)
Sheep are among the earliest domesticated livestock species, with a wide variety of breeds present today. However, it remains unclear how far back this diversity goes, with formal documentation only dating back a few centu...
