Genomic signals of migration and continuity in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons

Here, Martiniano et al. examine the genetic structure of northern Britain in the late BC/early AD using ancient genome sequencing of 9 individuals. They uncover evidence of far-reaching Roman and later Anglo-Saxon migrations within a background of Britons similar to the earlier Iron Age.
