New preprint from @PinhasiL V. Oberreiter et al. Do you work with sedaDNA and you don't have ilimited ressources? This is for you! 🙂🧪🏞biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did you always think that aDNA methylation detection was necessarily meaning big money? well... not really, and it can be also better! Fantastic work led by Susanna Sawyer! 😍😀 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm really excited to finally share the first data coming out of a side-experiment started in 2015. After many trials and errors, we finally published an initial set of foundations for the use of density separation for increased ancient DNA yields! 🧵1/14 genome.cshlp.org/content/early/…

The latest preprint from @PinhasiL in Vienna is cool research on Pleistocene animal bone tools. "A minimally-invasive method for ancient DNA sampling of Prehistoric bone and antler tools and hunting weapons" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New Publication by #HEASVienna Deputy Head Ron Pinhasi @PinhasiL and HEAS members Olivia Cheronet and @daniMfernandes on 'The diverse genetic origins of a Classical period Greek army' heas.at/research/publi… #HEASPublications

#HEASVienna Deputy Head Ron Pinhasi @PinhasiL has been nominated for the @DiePressecom Austrian of the Year Award for his work with ancient DNA which ‘shines a light on the prehistory of many regions of the world’. To vote for Ron please see below: heas.at/activities/new…

The Southern Arc papers are now published in @ScienceMagazine The study was originally conceived as the joint genetic history of the neighboring regions of West Asia and Southeastern Europe but there were just too many interesting findings to fit in one paper, so we have three!

Check out owr new work on the genetic history of Ukraine. We show multiple populatiin replacements during the Bronze Age.

We are happy to be part of this new publication from the @hidden_foods project pnas.org/content/118/32…

Read about Pleistocene mammalian genomes recovered from sediment in this new publication led by @peregx9 authors.elsevier.com/c/1dOdi3QW8Rwo…

aDNA folks, our new preprint is live! A relatedness estimation package for 1st and 2nd degrees that requires as little as 0.026x average coverage per pair, or ~1.6M aligned reads. When re-analysing published data, we found a case where it worked even with as little as 0.005x. 1/5

In our new preprint, led impressively by @AnthroSteph, we integrated osteological + ancient DNA data from the _same_ prehistoric individuals to study the trajectory of human stature variation as a proxy for health across a transition to agriculture: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

Check out our new study published at @SciReports. This was part of @MSCActions #ANCIENT_TEETH project and #MartíFranquésURVResearchGrant

Learn more about the genomic origins of East Asian populations through this paper we were happy to be part of. nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'm excited to announce that our manuscript describing a minimally destructive approach for sampling aDNA from ancient teeth is now published in @GenomeResearch, complete with new, more detailed pictures of teeth processed using this approach. 1/4 genome.org/cgi/doi/10.110…

Happy to share our preprint on aDNA from 25.000 YBP soil from Satsurblia Cave A) We prove the capacity of retrieving substantial genomic DNA from Pleistocene soil B) we provide some data of the evolutionary history of: humans, wolves and bison in Europe #disqus_thread" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re excited to share the new paper led by @daniMfernandes and @KendraSirak investigating the ancient populations of the Caribbean. Watch its summary here. youtube.com/watch?v=Cu57tm…
