Advancing sex estimation from amelogenin: Applications to archaeological, deciduous, and fragmentary dental enamel Open
A significant limitation of bioarchaeological and forensic research is inaccuracy of sex estimation techniques for skeletal remains of pre-pubertal individuals. This means that while age estimation is relatively accurate for individuals du…

Ancient DNA study provides clues to leprosy susceptibility in medieval Europe Open
Background Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae ( M. leprae ) that reached an epidemic scale in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, the disease is absent in Europe and host genetic influences have been considered a…

Ancient <i>Yersinia pestis</i> genomes lack the virulence-associated Ypf <i>Φ</i> prophage present in modern pandemic strains Open
Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of at least three major plague pandemics (Justinianic, Medieval and Modern). Previous studies on ancient Y. pestis genomes revealed that several genomic alterations had occurred approximately 5000–300…

Leprosy in medieval Denmark: Exploring life histories through a multi‐tissue and multi‐isotopic approach Open
Objectives By focusing on two Danish leprosaria (Næstved and Odense; 13th–16th c. CE) and using diet and origin as proxies, we follow a multi‐isotopic approach to reconstruct life histories of patients and investigate how leprosy affected …

Ancient genomes reveal a high diversity of Mycobacterium leprae in medieval Europe Open
Studying ancient DNA allows us to retrace the evolutionary history of human pathogens, such as Mycobacterium leprae, the main causative agent of leprosy. Leprosy is one of the oldest recorded and most stigmatizing diseases in human history…
