Save the Date! 📅 24th International Gene Forum takes place Sept 9–10 2025 in Tartu 🇪🇪 🧬Welcome to the premier #genetics & #genomics conference in the Baltics. More info: geneforum.ee Registration for #GeneForum2025 opens soon—stay tuned!

Congratulations to Dr Danat Yermakovich! 🥳 Great thesis and defence 🎓 @genomicstartu

Our @NatureComms study on human liver regeneration reveals cellular gene expression changes linked to tissue architecture in regenerating liver lobules. Congrats to all co-authors! 🎉 @TreutleinLab @GrayCampLab @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @UniLeipzig nature.com/articles/s4146…

Papua New Guineans carry substantial amounts of Denisovan DNA, but highlanders have more than lowlanders. Denisovan genetic variants associated with brain biology in highlanders and immune response in lowlanders are likely adaptive. In PNAS: ow.ly/QBZQ50SrQIs

Happy to see that our paper on archaic admixture and its phenotypic impact in Papua New Guinean populations is out now in @PNASNews! Thanks to all co-authors for this fun collaboration @genomicstartu pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Today is the day! Come to see how humans and pathogens have co-evolved together 🧬 Great speakers will drive us into this journey! @H5P53 @pie_federica @MiriamJBravo1 @OfficialSMBE #SMBE2023

We are recruiting a fully funded PhD student in Genomics focusing on psychiatric genomics and working with the Estonian Biobank data! Application deadline is already 15.05.2023 ! 🧬🧠👇@unitartu @ESTbiobank estonia.dreamapply.com/en_GB/courses/…

Very excited to see the first paper of my PhD student, Danat Yermakovich, out! A huge thank you to all the co-authors for their valuable contributions to this research. @genomicstartu @ESTbiobank

Congratulations to @ABgnieska for defending her thesis! Elegant data and presentation! It was great fun working with you and being part of your journey! @TreutleinLab @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. It's unfortunate that Svante missed and you lost the ear, but worse things can happen in a PhD!

Do diseases have evolutionary explanations or does natural selection shape traits that make us vulnerable to them? In @Transl_Psych, we approach this by tracking associations of Neandertal DNA with „modern“ diseases vs behavioral phenotypes nature.com/articles/s4139…

Glad to see this paper out in @Transl_Psych! Fun collaboration with @GoldLabCharite and all the other contributors from #NESDA @ESTbiobank @unitartu @MPI_EVA_Leipzig nature.com/articles/s4139…

Perfect timing while celebrating the Nobel prize for #paleogenomics! I collaborated on a study led by @MichaDannemann & @GoldLabCharite examining the role of #Neandertal introgression in neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits. Out now in @Transl_Psych go.nature.com/3e8OrH0

We are hiring THREE postdocs to work on balancing selection and sexual antagonism, with @MaxReuterEvo at University College London. An exciting opportunity to investigate balancing and directional selection in genomes, both in the lab and in natural populations. Please RT.

Our review, w/ Rasa Muktupavela, @MichaDannemann and @FerRacimo, on "Quantitative Human Paleogenetics: What can Ancient DNA Tell us About Complex Trait Evolution?" is out now in Frontiers in Genetics doi.org/10.3389/fgene.…

In our study we used tissues derived from a medical procedure that triggers the growth of the liver as a model to explore the cellular basis of liver regeneration in humans. Check out the preprint of my PhD work! 🔍😃💧💻 bit.ly/3wYgzjS

Irene @ee_reh_neh and I review the many exciting developments in the application of stem cell models to study human evolution. Check out our paper to learn more about the potential and challenges of these approaches moving forward! @FEBSJournal febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Happy to share our study on the demographic & adaptive history of Pacific Islanders @nature, led by @JeremyChoin @JavierMenRev @lararubioarauna & @Etienne_Patin. Many thanks to our collaborators and, mainly, to the participating communities. See nature.com/articles/s4158… (1/5)
