I'm really excited to finally share the first data coming out of a side-experiment started in 2015. After many trials and errors, we finally published an initial set of foundations for the use of density separation for increased ancient DNA yields! 🧵1/14 genome.cshlp.org/content/ear…

The Southern Arc papers are now published in @ScienceMagazine The study was originally conceived as the joint genetic history of the neighboring regions of West Asia and Southeastern Europe but there were just too many interesting findings to fit in one paper, so we have three!

Check out owr new work on the genetic history of Ukraine. We show multiple populatiin replacements during the Bronze Age.

aDNA folks, our new preprint is live! A relatedness estimation package for 1st and 2nd degrees that requires as little as 0.026x average coverage per pair, or ~1.6M aligned reads. When re-analysing published data, we found a case where it worked even with as little as 0.005x. 1/5

In our new preprint, led impressively by @AnthroSteph, we integrated osteological + ancient DNA data from the _same_ prehistoric individuals to study the trajectory of human stature variation as a proxy for health across a transition to agriculture: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/10

I'm excited to announce that our manuscript describing a minimally destructive approach for sampling aDNA from ancient teeth is now published in @GenomeResearch, complete with new, more detailed pictures of teeth processed using this approach. 1/4 genome.org/cgi/doi/10.1101/g…

Happy to share our preprint on aDNA from 25.000 YBP soil from Satsurblia Cave A) We prove the capacity of retrieving substantial genomic DNA from Pleistocene soil B) we provide some data of the evolutionary history of: humans, wolves and bison in Europe biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
