Aligned sequencing data from 10,016 ancient individuals generated as part of Akbari et al. 2026 are provided here. These include 367 newly reported shotgun ancient genomes and capture data from 9,649 individuals, derived from 18,397 ancient DNA libraries. The capture data primarily represent 9,426 previously unreported individuals, with additional libraries improving coverage for 223 individuals. Laboratory work was performed using established ancient DNA protocols, with sequencing carried out on Illumina NextSeq500, HiSeq X10, and NovaSeq X platforms.​
Includes samples from different ages, from the Paleolithic to Historical periods.

Hopefully all of these and other will be included in the next iteration of AADR. It is overdue now, if going by the relative time it takes for them to release it.
 
There are many samples under J2-L70. Although the information is still difficult to process , it seams the Miceanean J2 L70 is among the published ancient samples!!
 
so we don't know the archeological context and period
but in twitter there was a specific leak about those below
apparently from:
roman period mass grave in Judea or galilee from 37BCE -324CE
very diverse;)

p.s
the 2 E are : e-v12 and e-m84>pf6751
 
Sorted scaled G25 coords based on their closest match to the samples found in Davidski's "Global25_PCA_pop_averages_scaled" file.

Website with Akbari et al. 2026 dataset, information about haplogroups, admixture profiles, G25 coords, distances to ancient and modern populations.
Also with ancIBD v54 tools to discover partial and identical-by-descent (IBD) segment sharing across ancient samples and generate interactive IBD kinship networks.​

This is cool. The IBD tool though does not seem to have the new Akbari database inter-grated yet.
 
I hope that Teepean fellow didn't work on this too much! Considering one could convertf these files to PLINK in one command in Eigensoft with this dataset.

Afterwards, I personally find it much easier to facilitate a one-sided merge via PLINK into any given dataset... However, it seem many of these are already in AADR 62.0, immediately I recognized the Lombard samples, and Clemente samples that feature Logkas 02 and 04.

Are there any exclusive samples in particular that are not included v62.0?

EDIT: Likely the 2025 samples are new, considering AADR 62.0 came out in September 2024. Surely these will make an their official debut in the next AADR iteration.

Some of these are much harder to pin down, because they don't even have the study cited, just he generic "NewAncientSample"

When I looked it up it just says "Israel", with "missing" entered for collection data and geographical location. These could be from Samaria, Palestine, Idumea, Galilae, West Decapolis or Perea. I've also read supposed leaks from "people in the know" that these are Roman era remains. Dating from 37 BCE to 324 CE, but I have seen no confirmation in the data itself.

They have a bunch of remains from the siege of Tel Lachish (701 BCE) and I know they sequenced them, but refuse to publish the results.

Where did you get the data in that format? Could you post a link if it's available online.

at twitter
i don't have the link
you are correct it could be a bogus
from autosomal perspective though the samples sure look Levantine
you are correct we should wait till 2041
to know from where exactly those remains came from
when i think about it now
maybe i shouldn't have posted this print screen
but it was to exciting to ignore 🤔
