Humans can be... well... a little self-absorbed... our DNA is the MOST SEQUENCED DNA EVER! SO. MUCH. DATA. But are we sooooo special?!? #Zoonomia 1/n

I’m glad to be part of this work! Congratulations Viridiana Villa Islas Federico Sanchez Quinto @paleogenomics and the rest of the team.

Chapter 'Craft Traditions' is now online in the Oxford Handbook of Cultural Evolution ...academic.oup.com/edited-volume/…

Our new paper is out nature! Farmers, pastoralists and local hunter-gatherers, all played a role in the Neolithization of Northwestern Africa. It feels unreal to see this important chapter of my PhD published! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Writing a genome, quickly and at scale? 🧬 Incredibly excited to see this first part of my PhD work in the Chin lab out today nature: In a huge collaborative effort we developed continuous genome synthesis and methods to assemble megabase-scale human DNA. A🧵: 1/n

Very happy about our new article published in Nature! "The genetic legacy of the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples in Africa" Congrats and thank you to Cesar Fortes-Lima, Concetta Burgarella, Rickard Hammarén and all other co-authors on >5 years of hard work! nature.com/articles/s4158…

In this preprint, Aylwyn Scally, Richard Durbin and I present evidence for deep population structure shared by all modern humans biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Aylwyn Scally Richard Durbin

New paper out, in AJHG Happy to have collaborated with Noriko Funato & Arja Heliövaara. We show how a regulatory variant impacting TBX1 expression contributed to the evolution of human basicranial morphology. 🧵1/ cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

We find evidence that Harbin, Dali, and Kabwe are likely Denisovans or their close kin! Using gene regulation, which predicts traits with >85% accuracy, we scanned the fossil record and found a remarkable fit to predicted Denisovan anatomy. See🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am advertising a PhD position in human population genetics and ancient DNA analyses of African populations in my group (Uppsala U, Sweden). Please feel free to spread this advert and apply if you are interested! jobb.uu.se/details/?posit…

We are very happy to share our new preprint "Wide-scale Geographical Analysis of Genetic Ancestry in the South African Coloured Population". Any comments or suggestions are welcome! With Imke Lankheet, Rickard Hammarén, Lucia Ximena Alva Caballero, Maximilian Larena biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

After just more than 6 years, Joshua G. Schraiber and I can finally share the results of one of those "quick side projects": 'Estimating allele frequencies, ancestry proportions and genotype likelihoods in the presence of mapping bias' doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Short 🧵(1/6)

This is a big deal--a second high quality Denisovan genome has been sequenced, and it's old! The most ancient human genome yet has been sequenced—and it’s a Denisovan’s | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Our study on ancient Anatolian sheep 🐑 genomes 🧬 is finally out!!! Tons of insights into the early domestication processes in Anatolia and some interesting bits to look into with further research across Eurasia. Check the paper by Damla Kaptan et al: doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

‘Human Peoples’ is out Penguin Books A genetic journey through how migrations, admixture (among humans and with Neanderthals and Denisovans), and adaptations to environmental pressures (climate, nutrition, pathogens) shaped our physiology and health today. amazon.co.uk/Human-Peoples-…

Excited to share our review article on Denisovans, now out in Nature Genetics🥳I am very grateful to Emilia Huerta for making this possible! Check it out 🔎🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158…
