Excited to co-chair this symposium with @cegAmorim! #SMBEv2021

20 fully-funded PhD positions in Quantitative Biology at @UNIL, Lausanne, Switzerland. Great science in a stimulating environment. No geographic restriction—we are looking for the most promising students worldwide! More info: unil.ch/quantitative-b… Please RT.

RECOMB Satellite on Computational Methods in Genetics (virtual) is 09-02-21 featuring keynotes @tuuliel & @mathiesoniain as well as contributed talks. Free registration by 08-22 required separate from RECOMB bit.ly/2UzOEJy PC: @GillianBelbin @sr_sankararaman @AnnaSapfo

Our latest preprint, Benchmarking metagenomics classifiers on ancient viral DNA: a simulation study, led by YAO Cárdenas and @SamuelNeuensch2, is now on biorxiv. Comments & feedback very welcome! #aDNA #biorxiv_genomic biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A big thank you to the whole team, incl. F Clemente, @cegAmorim, S Neuenschwander, @yosoydcruz, L Anchieri, F Michaud, YOA Cárdenas, B Mota, @DelaneauGroup, JD Jensen, JV Moreno-Mayar, @csousa_vitor for all the work and @unil @dbc_unil @ISBSIB for the support. 4/4

We also find that Caucasus-like gene flow during the Neolithic and Pontic-Caspian Steppe-like gene flow during the Bronze Age has shaped the region. Present-day Greeks looked genetically more similar to 2,000 BCE Aegeans from Northern Greece. 3/n

Our study on the genomic history of the Aegean palatial civilizations is out. #aDNA 1/n sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Deeply unappreciated fact: the most "impactful" person in science right now is this Kazakhstani hacker queen. She is the one-woman bridge to the largest repository of scientific knowledge ever collected.
