#MetagenomicsMonday 🧬 Ancient DNA uncovers a lost harp seal population in the Baltic Sea that was genetically distinct from their Arctic cousins! Changes in climate and water salinity combined with human hunting likely sealed their fate. #ancientDNA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

#MetagenomicsMonday While it's long been assumed that leprosy came to the Americas with Europeans, new evidence shows that a different species, Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was already infecting people here long before that! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

#MetagenomicsMonday New aDNA study tracks how Borrelia recurrentis, the bacterium behind louse-borne relapsing fever, evolved from a tick-borne ancestor, offering rare insight into how pathogens adapt to new vectors over time. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
