Grateful to @MNCN_Col for granting me access to the last surviving specimen (from 1857!) of the famously extinct snakes from the tiny Columbretes islands. Excited to recover aDNA & study evolution in this harsh climate. Big thanks to @BolinCentre for the RT4 seed money! 🐍 #aDNA

@DanTabin Thanks! And yes, I tend to agree with you on that. Looking forward to see the video! 👀 I'll make sure to circulate it.

@GOG1693 The angle stuff is quite interesting, and like I said quite beautiful. I think qpAdm is very intuitive although I agree it has not been written up in an easily digestible way. I hope to change that in the next few months with a very intuitive youtube video :)

Mixtum out now! Graphical tool for 2-way admixture analysis based on f-statistics. Our small contribution to make admixture modelling simpler for everyone. Includes software with user friendly GUI. We open to feeback for mid-term support. doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…

@DanTabin Of course it's not a jab at Harney et al or a criticism of qpADM. Just my view and a different approach to the same problem based on our skill set.

@DanTabin If one is comfortable with the pure statistical view then may not seem much of an improvement but we believe our geometric approach is more intuitive. On a personal note, I also think we explain the inner workings of the method more trasnparently than Harney et al. 2021 does.

An example of a quick replication of Otzi's profile. Go read the doc for the deets.

A little bit of reading material for your easter vacation: We found evidence of a population collapse in France 5,000 years ago in our new paper in Nature Evology and Evolution. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4155… #NeolithicDecline #ancientDNA

How did catastrophic black death and myxomatosis outbreaks on an isolated island affect the genomes of humans & rabbits, respectively? And how did the microbes evolve in response to this? PhD position @CpgSthlm with @AndersGother and me as supervisors! su.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

Vir, inquam, ille. Amandus est.

@DanTabin @copperskin722 Congrats on the Youtube channel, it's commendable!

@DanTabin @copperskin722 Haven't read the paper in depth again since last year but I'm surprised it hasn'r been talked about more. What's your take?

That's why the 93% ANA and 7% Levantine of Takarkori can't be seriously taken.
