Ancient_DNA_samples_from_Oakington_Linton. Ancient_DNA_samples_from_Oakington_Linton

Whole genome sequencing of 6 ancient DNA samples from skeletons excavated in Linton and Oakington, near Cambridge, UK with estimated dates from the Anglo-Saxon period (5th through 9th century). DNA was extracted from teeth, and UDG treated prior to library formation to cleave at deaminated cytosines, avoiding chemical degradation artefacts in the sequence. We sequence the whole genomes of these individuals to gain understanding on population and migration history during the Anglo-Saxon period in Britain This data is part of a pre-publication release.
