!!!JOB ALERT!!! Assistant/Associate Prof in One Health UCL. We are looking for a fabulous new colleague UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research for our People & Nature Lab UCL East campus - deadline 10th July nature.com/naturecareers/…

I am incredibly happy to share our preprint on the first 11 ancient Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A &B) genomes! This was a work done in collaboration with many amazing colleagues! Special shout out to Lucy van Dorp, Dr Charlotte Houldcroft and Lehti Saag! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to see this shared with the world. Borrelia rec is amongst the most curious of bacteria and here we combine ancient DNA with temporal and pangenome approaches to reconstruct its evolutionary history over 8000 years. Wonderful effort led by Pooja Swali (thread below).
