BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Today’s #NobelPrize winner Svante Pääbo is a true authority on the study of ancient DNA. He was the first to successfully clone DNA from a mummy, and in 2009, he completed sequencing of the Neanderthal genome (in collaboration with Jim Mullikin National Human Genome Research Institute!).

Congrats to Svante and the entire MPI-EVA Leipzig genetics department past and present! It's not just the Neanderthals. So much of the current paradigm of ancient DNA retrieval⁠—the nitty gritty⁠—bears the mark of Svante's sense of scientific rigour.

Absolutely astonishing! "Neanderthal man" gets this year's #NobelPrize in Medicine. Simply beautiful! The "godfather" of ancient DNA studies. Read this nature piece to hear what other towering voices in the field have to say about this true hero. nature.com/articles/d4158…
