I have two postdoc positions available on our 'COREX: From correlations to explanations: towards a new European prehistory' grant: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… and: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… Both working at the intersection of archaeology, ancient DNA, computational modelling and stats

(This paper also features the debut of my patented Casino Plot ™️ - the shadows were definitely not needed but I feel they add a certain je ne sais qui...) Link to Cuadros-Espinoza et al: see figure 5C! cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

Arguably this signal of positive selection is the first step in a more protracted act of balancing selection over time, but that still has to start somewhere! And a big thanks to our collaborators @DanJu808 and @mathiesoniain for their help throughout this paper!

Officially out, our work trying to delineate and understand selection happening during admixture in Neolithic Europe. We find that admixed Neolithic populations inherit more hunter-gatherer ancestry at the MHC region than expected by chance. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I am thrilled that in 2023 I will start my lab @LeibnizFLI focused on exploring the biochemical crosstalk between host-microbiome during ageing🚨PhD and PostDoc positions are available soon! Please RT 🙏
Leibniz-Institut für Alternsforschung (FLI)@LeibnizFLI

Clara Correia-Melo @CorreiaMeloC will take over the leadership of a new junior research group on "#Microbiome and Metabolism" starting February 2023. We are very excited!😀Find out more👉cutt.ly/R1Oo7R7 @IMPULS_Jena @UKJ_Jena @profillinie #AgingResearch

First attempt at a poster presentation. Come & chat about British Neolithic/Bronze Age genetics and some really early Bell Beakers. #EESHuman (Matching shirt-poster colour combo not purposeful)

As far as we have known, dogs could have originated from almost any corner of Eurasia. Emerging from Cambridge lockdown, at the #ISBA9 Future Fellows session today Anders Bergström will present a 'Newtonian' first genomic step towards pinpointing where the first dogs lived.

Thought-provoking stuff from Tasmin O'Connell. David Clarke's stages of disciplinary development might also fit to genomics (particularly the 2nd->3rd stages), I'm reminded of this gem academic.oup.com/gbe/article/5/… #ISBA9

In our new paper, out today in @nature, we recovered genome-wide data from the oldest Upper Palaeolithic modern humans in Europe, who lived between 46,000 and 43,000 years ago in Bacho Kiro Cave, Bulgaria: nature.com/articles/s4158…

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… I genuinely can't tell if this is a shitpost, surely not, but it's published!? Not even sure where to begin. Figure 7 is particularly illuminating, however.

Big congrats to Anders Bergström, now in our group, and the Sanger team that led this study & new resource of 929 HQ modern genomes. Among the findings: simulated tree-like histories >200kya (thin lines) don't fit African genomes—more complex gene flow. twitter.com/TheCrick/statu…

📰929 human genomes have been sequenced by scientists at the Crick, @sangerinstitute, @Cambridge_Uni and collaborators. The study forms the most comprehensive analysis of human genetic diversity to date, revealing rich genetic diversity. 🧬🧬 crick.ac.uk/news/2020-03-1…
