New paper: Ecology, not host phylogeny, shapes the oral microbiome in closely related species @kguschan Markella Moraitou Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36472532/

In our study published today in Science Magazine, we provide a proof of concept for the potential use of ancient microbes as a source for developing new drugs by synthesising previously unknown metabolites from reconstructed gene clusters. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Great to see the field of ancient metagenomics highlighted! After weeks non-stop at the aDNA lab, "we clean up more than we do science" hits different!

Just out: Ghost admixture in eastern gorillas This is the study that Harvinder Pawar presented on Monday at #smbe2023 nature.com/articles/s4155…
