The Isthmo-Colombian area is now added on the Indigenous America genomic puzzle, check its distinctiveness on Cell @CellCellPress sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. Cooperation is the human secret, so thanks to @Raveancic @RambaldiNicola @Linda_Ongaro @FranceCardil and all co-authors 1/4

MORE JOB ALERTS! 👀at @univca, 1 year research assistant to work in BIOINFORMATICS, HUMAN GENOMIC DATA🧬from the Mediterranean Islands - here a video I made at Cagliari beach in October 😎 Bando per assegno di ricerca dirpersonale.unica.it/concorsi/?page…

I am happy to share my latest article published on @ConversationUK, written for a broad audience, where I summarise our review about the Denisovans! 🧬✨ Discover their fascinating genetics and how they shaped human history. theconversation.com/their-dna-surv…

Our first whole-genome study on Armenian population, aiming to check the Balkan theory on their origins proposed by Herodotus, as well as their demographic history and genetic variation, is finally out! cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/… 1/6

Scientists from @tcdgenmicro believe individuals of the most recently discovered “hominin” group (the Denisovans) helped shape early human history by passing on some of their genes to modern humans. Read more at: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…

Another chapter on generating in silico artificial genomes led by Antoine Szatkownik with @florajay_ , @emiliahsc and many others I couldn’t locate here. This time using diffusion models and with a utility perspective: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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

Curious about Denisovan introgressions? 🤔 @Linda_Ongaro & @emiliahsc's new review breaks down ❓ what we know, how we know it, and the impact of introgression 🧬on present-day humans❓ 🧐Check out their insightful piece here—free access via this link! 🔗rdcu.be/dY9G1

A great recap of all seasons from the "Denisova-Modern Human" romance series by @Linda_Ongaro and @emiliahsc doi.org/10.1038/s41588…

Yesterday our paper on the genomics of the extinct aurochs was published in @Nature! I’m so happy to see this work finally released to the wild (ahem…). nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵 Please follow along this thread of the main findings! 🐄🧬🦴

Our new paper on the dynamic ancient genomic history of the aurochs is out in Nature. Well done to all, esp. Conor Rossi. Free download link. rdcu.be/dYAV3

I am stoked to announce that my first first-author preprint is out!! 🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… I started this work as an undergrad student in @dortega_delv lab in collaboration with @mashaals and @emiliahsc. Summary ⬇️

This is the result of a long journey, but we are quite happy with the way it turned out 🤓🏔️🧬 Genomic and cultural diversity of the Inka Qhapaq hucha ceremony in Chile and Argentina academic.oup.com/gbe/article/do…

Amazing work from my friend @Raveancic. I’m very proud of you—yet another proof of what a great scientist you are! Keep going! 💪👨‍💻

Had an amazing time at @SMBESat2024_TCD! I was thrilled to present my work on how we phased archaic genomes to uncover the evolutionary history of MUC19. Although, the highlight of my trip was spending quality time with the Dublin branch of the Huerta-Sánchez lab ☘️

Congrats to the @SMBESat2024_TCD committee for hosting a great event - delighted to have all the SMBE participants here in Trinity and hope you enjoyed your time with us.

A bit late, but I had beyond fun @ #SMBEbeyond @SMBESat2024_TCD, it was a good mix of great keynote & contributed talks, and a interesting poster session. Had a great time sharing insights from Columbian mammoths aDNA from 🇲🇽, & as a panelist in a group discussion at the end.

Got back recently from this wonderful conference. Very grateful to the organizers for their hospitality in Dublin and dedication to make this meeting very enjoyable and productive. @GingerHowley @victoriaEmullin @Linda_Ongaro and others. See🧵on what I've learned.

Overall, #SMBEbeyond has been an awesome time thanks to all attendees and especially the @SMBESat2024_TCD team for organizing x.com/SMBESat2024_TC…

Thanks to @SMBESat2024_TCD for putting together a great conference! Thought-provoking and scientifically rigorous, yet intimate and relaxed at the same time - a perfect combination to encourage fruitful engagement! #smbeBeyond
