Brief Summary: This study marks significant progress in understanding ancient genomes, particularly in deciphering chromosomal sex, aneuploidies, and their broader historical and societal implications. By extracting and analyzing DNA from ancient remains, researchers have uncovered new insights into disorders of sex development (DSDs) that were previously inaccessible. These authors pioneered a computational method to identify sex chromosomal aneuploidies. This approach indepe...
