This dataset includes ancient genotype data as described in Prendergast, Lipson, Sawchuk et al. (2019) in PACKEDANCESTRYMAP format.

You may convert the data to other formats using the "convertf" utility of EIGENSOFT (https://data.broadinstitute.org/alkesgroup/EIGENSOFT/).

A number of different analyses can be performed using the appliations in ADMIXTOOLS (https://github.com/DReichLab/AdmixTools).

The dataset includes three files: *.geno (genotype data), *.ind (individual data), and *.snp (SNP data). Together they contain genotype information for 41 ancient individuals from Kenya and Tanzania.  

BAM files:

You may find sequence read data for the individuals reported here in the European Nucleotide Archive (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/) under accession number PRJEB31373.
