DeepKin: Predicting Relatedness From Low‐Coverage Genomes and Palaeogenomes With Convolutional Neural Networks DeepKin is a novel tool designed to predict relatedness from genomic data using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Traditional methods for estimating relatedness often struggle when genomic data i...

Our genetic kinship estimation tool “DeepKin” is now available! Our neural network models trained on simulated data work effectively on real ancient data from diverse backgrounds and often outperform available tools. @compevohumang.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thank you, Tom! That's a great point; you're right that our sample didn't allow us to compare among the ossicle types *directly*. We should point this out in the next version of the manuscript. Hopefully, this will be resolved with more data accumulating.

Hello Tom, and thank you - the stapes is indeed not often recovered and our sample from Köşkhöyük might be overall better preserved than its contemporaries. We compared stapes with cochlea from the same individuals to try to address such confounding effects. Thanks again!
