We know that giraffes show deep population structure, even between populations in close geographic proximity. Interbreeding between these lineages is rare, but it does occur in captivity. So, what happened in their evolutionary history?

A huge congrats to Frederik Filip Stæger (PhD student w. Anders Albrechtsen & me) for being selected as a winner of the #ASHG22 Charles J. Epstein Award for Excellence in Human Genetics Research :-) Really proud of you and the work we are doing together on disease genetics in Greenland!

Thank you all for a fantastic event! We are thrilled that so many population geneticists met in one room and it was a pleasure hosting you We appreciate that you found time to join us and especially thank those who travelled from near and far. Until the next time!

First day after the holiday will be EPIC #epicDK22 EPICconference
