The detection of methylation in ancient genomes is much cheaper and easier than previously thought! Awesome research led by Susana Sawyer! HEAS Vienna doi.org/10.1186/s13059…
We just posted a new paper in @bioRxiv providing the first comprehensive estimates of global genetic diversity loss Just in time for UN Biodiversity Convention on Biological Diversity @CBD #COP16 Ping me if you are here at Colombia! doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Read key messages:
Our latest paper is out in NatureEcoEvo: Inferring DNA methylation in non-skeletal tissues of ancient specimens. A major challenge in studying DNA methylation in ancient samples is that it is tissue-specific. 1/11
