Ancient genomes

Ancient genomes refer to the complete genetic material recovered from long-deceased organisms, such as fossils or preserved remains. By analyzing these genomes, scientists can learn about the biology, migration patterns, and relationships of ancient peoples and species. Advances in DNA extraction and sequencing allow us to compare ancient genomes with modern ones, shedding light on human evolution, adaptation, and historical events. This field offers a window into the distant past, helping us understand our origins and the history of life on Earth through genetic evidence.
