PalaeoKin is a lightweight ancient-DNA pipeline for estimating pairwise relatedness from mapped BAMs at low/uneven coverage. It wraps ANGSD + NgsRelate (KING-robust kinship, R0/R1) and samtools, producing a clear summary plus PDF/SVG QC plots, with optional downsampling and allele-balance/mixture diagnostics.
