The Sverris Saga, written in the 12th century, describes King Sverre’s rise to power and his conflict with the Baglers. The ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

Ancient DNA is turning Europe’s deep past from a sketch into a family album. Instead of guessing who first called the continent home, researchers can now read genetic traces from teeth, bones and cave ...

Researchers analyzed 333 Italian centenarians and compared their genetic composition to 103 ancient genomes to investigate ...

In genetics, scientists must analyze the genomes of millions, if not billions, of people, each carrying millions of variants. It’s an unfathomable amount of data. Which leads us to another central ...

A new study reveals how ancient DNA from the Villabruna cluster influences longevity in the modern Italian population.
