TL;DR: Eight genomes from Britain, France, Germany, and Spain are presented, demonstrating the geographic range of plague during the First Pandemic and showing microdiversity in the Early Medieval Period, and a methodological approach assessing single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ancient bacterial genomes is presented, facilitating qualitative analyses of low coverage genomes from a metagenomic background.

TL;DR: The first population-level analysis of people from this era of Migration Period is conducted, generating genomic data from 41 graves from archaeological sites in present-day Bavaria in southern Germany, indicating that while men generally had ancestry that closely resembles modern northern and central Europeans, women exhibit a very high genetic heterogeneity.

TL;DR: Six new genomes from Britain, France, Germany and Spain are presented, demonstrating the geographic range of plague during the First pandemic and showing microdiversity in the Early Medieval Period and a novel methodological approach assessing SNPs in ancient bacterial genomes is presented.
