Denisovans adapted to cold e.g. boreal forests, even tundra, and could even have reached N+E Europe? Neas in more temperate forests & grassland? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I nattered with @HISTORYUK about our television series #ancientmurdersunearthed about how modern forensic analysis can help us find out more about ancient murders. Huge fun to film & I loved learning about what the analysis could tell us! history.co.uk/articles/letti…

Here, I am photographed around the midpoint of the Human Genome Project, as my research group was working feverishly to build a physical map of human chromosome 7.

The age of IBD in ancient DNA is nigh! doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… In this preprint, we describe "ancIBD", a method to detect long shared haplotypes (known as IBD segments) in human ancient DNA data, and showcase applications. 🧬💀 (1/5)

The Black Death: Bring Out Your Dead starts tonight on @channel5_tv with @thehistoryguy & @Raksha_Digs! I also pop up for a bit in Episode 2 tomorrow. 😀🧬

Behind the scenes at the NIFHS DNA project! Includes a guide about how to use the Advanced Matches tool on @FamilyTreeDNA, so for our project, that means being able to see if any of our nearly 8000 DNA project members, with links to the nine counties of Ulster, also match you ✅

Stay tuned for a more detailed blog post. Do you match any of them? bit.ly/3GQxDzX
