Genetic & phenotypic impact of ancient hunter-gatherer "Jomon" on modern Japanese🧬. Geographical diversity of Jomon genome proportion across Japanese islands🗾🏝️& link with obesity⚖️. Work with @go_kenbo & @shige_nakagome using BBJ !! Now @NatureComms ㊗️ nature.com/articles/s4146…

An analysis by @shige_nakagome on sex-biased admixture in ancient northern China, that I was happy to contribute to, has been published in Anthropological Science 🧬 jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ase/ad…

We are happy to share that our paper on Enriching barcoding markers in environmental samples is out in Environmental DNA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed… We show which variables impacting relative abundance estimates of taxa and make recommendations for bait design to mitigate these.
