Yesterday our paper on the genomics of the extinct aurochs was published in @Nature! I’m so happy to see this work finally released to the wild (ahem…). nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵 Please follow along this thread of the main findings! 🐄🧬🦴
Our new paper on the dynamic ancient genomic history of the aurochs is out in Nature. Well done to all, esp. Conor Rossi. Free download link. rdcu.be/dYAV3
Our study on ancient Anatolian sheep 🐑 genomes 🧬 is finally out!!! Tons of insights into the early domestication processes in Anatolia and some interesting bits to look into with further research across Eurasia. Check the paper by Damla Kaptan et al: doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Interested in a project in the intersection of ancient DNA and Deep Learning for characterizing genetic variation? Do send a DM. Thank your for your RT!

I am delighted to share my first first-author and the first paper of the @gingerhowley lab published in Nature Communications this 20th of July. An 8000 years old genome reveals the Neolithic origin of the zoonosis Brucella melitensis : nature.com/articles/s4146… 🐑🦠
Our paper about evaluating genotype imputation using Glimpse2 is published today. This was the Master thesis study of Hande Çubukcu. Congratulations Hande! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
We are excited to share our new paper introducing a new tool for scrutinising #ancientDNA data - AMBER - and using this tool to examine reference genome alignment bias. doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…
Sad to miss #SMBE2024 but make sure not to miss the presentations from the lab: @MariDehasque will present a poster on Roman sheep genomes 🐏 (13-Tue) Germán Hernández-Alonso will talk about genomic diversity, history and conservation of rock doves 🕊️ on Fri 9:50 (Las Pilitas)
