A 4-year postdoc position in population genomics is available in my group at the University of East Anglia, to work on a project sequencing a thousand fox genomes across rural and urban environments in the UK. vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/1593…

This random BAM file on the SRA was mysteriously breaking my pipeline. Why? It was full of someone's ls -l output 🫠

A position is available in my research group at UEA for a wet-lab research assistant, for 3 years, to work on data generation for exciting new genomics projects in urban and rural foxes and other mammals. vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/1191…

@gabrielylr Very nice work! The paper analyses mitochondrial data, but presumably the approach is also applicable to genome-wide data?

This is now published in Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s4159…. The survey is expanded to 42 studies, and the paper now includes a Box 1: "Step-by-step best practices for archiving ancient genomics data in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)." I hope this will prove useful!
Anders Bergström@andersbrgstrm

In this preprint, I survey data archiving in ancient genomics—I find widespread shortcomings, which hinder reproducibility and data reuse. I argue that we need to step up our collective archiving game in #aDNA genomics, with six practical recommendations: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.

The ancIBD tool is becoming the killer app for Identity by Descent (IBD) detection in ancient genomes—check out the paper and Harald's thread below. I also wrote a short News & Views piece on the paper: rdcu.be/dt42w
Harald Ringbauer@HaraldRingbauer

doi.org/10.1038/s41588… ancIBD is published now! 🧬💀 Our tool brings accurate IBD detection to aDNA. We show that this unlocks the detection of up to sixth-degree relatives in aDNA, and reveals new links between ancient cultures. A short summary ⬇️ (1/5)

Applications open for a @ARIES_DTP PhD studentship with me at @biouea to work on the evolutionary history of the red fox: the land mammal with the widest natural distribution, and one of few that is thriving even in the face of anthropogenic pressures: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/b…

Great accessible write-up for younger audiences of our wolf paper from last year. From @SJforKids, with myself and Dave Stanton @Nibbledtodeath
ScienceJournal4Kids@SJforKids

Recently, an 18,000 year old preserved canine puppy, named Dogor, was found. Scientists at @TheCrick wanted to learn more about wolf domestication and the evolution of modern-day dogs, with the help of Dogor! Learn more in our new adapted article: sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/when-…
