Do you use Local Ancestry Inference (LAI)? Wanna know how much error to expect given source divergence or time since admixture? Wanna apply LAI to your aDNA study but have only one high-coverage ancient individual that could represent a specific ancestry? Check out our new paper:
Fyodor Dostoevsky's manuscript draft of The Brothers Karamazov.
New Preprint by @YileiHuang317 and with @ShaiCarmi: Using IBD tracts in time transects boosts inferring effective population size trajectories. 📈🧬 We released this as a tool called TTNE, well-suited for the increasingly large aDNA time series. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated. - A. Einstein

To start the new year off well, we got another paper published! 🎉🎉🎉 We explore the evolutionary history of African bushpigs and their mysterious presence on Madagascar. The study was a team effort, with multiple collaborators, and co-led by @renzobalb, @AnnaBruniche and me. 🧵
