The Isthmo-Colombian area is now added on the Indigenous America genomic puzzle, check its distinctiveness on Cell @CellCellPress sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Cooperation is the human secret, so thanks to @Raveancic @RambaldiNicola @Linda_Ongaro @FranceCardil and all co-authors 1/4

I am happy to share my latest article published on @ConversationUK, written for a broad audience, where I summarise our review about the Denisovans! 🧬✨ Discover their fascinating genetics and how they shaped human history. theconversation.com/their-dn…
Their DNA survives in diverse populations across the world – but who were the Denisovans?

Their DNA survives in diverse populations across the world – but who were the Denisovans?

The discovery of a finger bone in a cave in Siberia some 15 years ago kicked off a race to unravel the mysteries of an entirely new group of humanoids.

Scientists from @tcdgenmicro believe individuals of the most recently discovered “hominin” group (the Denisovans) helped shape early human history by passing on some of their genes to modern humans. Read more at: tcd.ie/news_events/articles/…

Had an amazing time at @SMBESat2024_TCD! I was thrilled to present my work on how we phased archaic genomes to uncover the evolutionary history of MUC19. Although, the highlight of my trip was spending quality time with the Dublin branch of the Huerta-Sánchez lab ☘️

A bit late, but I had beyond fun @ #SMBEbeyond @SMBESat2024_TCD, it was a good mix of great keynote & contributed talks, and a interesting poster session. Had a great time sharing insights from Columbian mammoths aDNA from 🇲🇽, & as a panelist in a group discussion at the end.
