    • Ancient Genomics and Human Health 

      Jackson, Iseult Sarah (Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2024)
      Studies of ancient DNA over the last decade have been pivotal in answering archaeological, evolutionary and ecological questions. More recently, this data has also been used in the analysis of human health in the past, in ...

    • Herding Ancient Domesticates: From Bones to Genomes 

      MULLIN, VICTORIA ELIZABETH (Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2018)
      This thesis demonstrates the power of the analysis of ancient domesticate genomes of cattle and sheep in order to analyse past population dynamics of the two species. In total 113 whole genomes and 127 mitogenomes of wild ...

    • The Multilayered Prehistory of Wild Aurochs and Domestic Cattle 

      Bradley, Daniel; European Research Council (ERC) (Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2018)
      This thesis explores 122 ancient genomes of domestic cattle and wild aurochs to investigate past population events such as domestication and admixture. Population genomics of ancient taurine domestics from the ancient Near ...

    • Retrieval of DNA from ancient material and the demography of the extinct aurochs 

      Rossi, Conor (Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2023)
      Ancient DNA has revolutionised our understanding of animal genomics by providing direct evidence of the demography of ancient wild populations and unravelling the complex domestication process with time-stamped precision. ...

    • Stasis and flux: A genomic study of 20,000 years of European prehistory.
