MEME Application Cohort 2022 is open! Application deadline: 15 January 2022

Our bulk RNA-seq method prime-seq is finally out in Genome Biology! Congrats to Aleks Janjic @le_wange and all other co-authors Christoph Ziegenhain @jooanson @B_Vieth Ines Hellmann Jeremias Lab genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Representation matters! We are aware of the pervasive knowledge gaps in science. That's why we have unified the efforts of students and researchers in Evolutionary Biology to create a course that will help boost students from the Global South who dream of a career in #EvoBio 🧬💚

✨REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN✨ If you're a student from the Global South with a passion for Evolutionary Biology and you dream of pursuing a MSc and a career in the field, join our first edition, online and free of charge, from July 11-23. Register here: forms.gle/73LU8bb5my2yUB….

Thanks again to all the volunteers that helped organise the Copenhagen summer course in analyses of high-throughput data for population genetics #popgendk Population and Statistical Genetics Group at UCPH Globe Institute @FerRacimo Benjamin Peter Tyler Linderoth @Matte0Fumagalli @dr_bodkan Ida Moltke Anders Albrechtsen Shyam Gopalakrishnan

Good news! The population genetics simulation #rstats package slendr is now on CRAN, just one `install.packages("slendr")` away. If you don't know what slendr is, check out the thread below. I will also list a few important updates for early adopters. cran.r-project.org/package=slendr

📢A brand new #Rstats package for population genetics called 'demografr' has appeared on the horizon, just in time for #probgen23! 📢 It's designed to make Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) as simple and efficient as possible. Links to our poster and GitHub repo below. [1/5]

We are excited to announce our registration process is officially OPEN 😱🥰💚 If you’re a student from the Global South looking to strengthen your profile to achieve a career in #EvoBio, you can register here the 2nd edition of our online, free course: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Here's a new explainer on genetic vs genealogical ancestry that I hope many find useful. ow.ly/cc5s50OPOsa. It's an outgrowth of the recent genomics & population descriptors report and made possible by the great support staff and graphics teams working with National Academies

Hi Everyone, Let me share our preprint on the work we did on the southern African Paranthropus. It forms part of mine (PalaeoProtPalesa), Claire Koenig, and Ioannis Patramanis PhDs as part of PUSHH. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have two postdoc positions available on our 'COREX: From correlations to explanations: towards a new European prehistory' grant: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… and: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… Both working at the intersection of archaeology, ancient DNA, computational modelling and stats

Ancient DNA reveals origins of multiple sclerosis in Europe go.nature.com/41X7h8j

Finally, we completed the story and are proud to share it with the world. Evidence for compensatory evolution within pleiotropic regulatory elements biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint led by Katia Bougiouri imputing aDNA from dogs and wolves to infer patterns of inbreeding over the last 10,000 years, and identify key genes resistant to inbreeding

We are extremely excited to announce the 3rd edition of the EvoBio Crash Course! 🥳 We focus on providing a thorough course on the basics of #EvoBio and tips to build a career in the field directed to students from the Global South 💚 Register here: forms.gle/tJ9kaM9GsM86mx…

In our new study out in PNAS this week, we resolve a debate that has captivated scientists since Darwin. Why did woolly rhinoceroses go extinct? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

It was great to see such a large Copenhagen group at #SMBE2024 organizing several symposia and presenting many talks and posters. We look forward to hosting you in Copenhagen for #SMBE2026! (tag people I missed from the photo 😬)

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07/0…
