Our work, which shows statistical issues with the previous claim of a severe ancient bottleneck in the ancestry of African populations, has been selected as a Featured article in Genetics Society of America doi.org/10.1093/geneti… Great work by Yun Deng 邓赟, co-advised by Rasmus Nielsen and me 1/2

"Ancient DNA reveals family ties" is named on of the top 10 Science Break-throughs in 2024 by Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Our work on early Celtic princely burials and their discovered close kinship gets mentioned, too!

Our latest interdisciplinary study reveals the story of East Asia meeting Europe in Lower Austria during 6th-9th centuries & their Peaceful coexistence (shared cultural feature) despite genetic difference! We reconstruct the past family pedigree inc. >450 individuals (a society!)

Latest in #GENETICS, Yilei Huang, Shai Carmi, and Harald Ringbauer developed a new tool, TTNE, that uses identity-by-descent tracts in large ancient DNA time-series for inferring effective population size trajectories. Read more: buff.ly/3QDRgzw
