Owing to technological advances in ancient DNA, it is now possible to sequence viruses from the past to track down their origin and evolution. However, ancient DNA data is considerably more degraded and contaminated than modern data making the identification of ancient viral genomes particularly challenging. Several methods to characterise the modern microbiome (and, within this, the virome) have been developed; in particular, tools that assign sequenced reads to specific taxa in order to characterise the organisms present in a sample of interest.

- The Bronze Age in Greece included three main cultures: Cycladic, Minoan, and Helladic (Mycenaean) and featured cities, specialized jobs, and early writing.
- Scientists studied ancient DNA from these cultures and found that the Early Bronze Age people mostly came from the Neolithic Aegeans, not a big population change as previously thought.
- By the Middle Bronze Age, people in northern Greece showed a mix of ancestry from different regions, which helped shape the genetics of modern Greeks.
