Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Inferring human prehistory from genetic data [this thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA [next thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

Our study investigating the genetic ancestries of Afro-Puerto Ricans is now published in American Journal of Biological Anthropology! This work was led by @sankofadna & done in collaboration w/COPI 🇵🇷💃🏿: copipr.com (1/n ) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We’re excited to share the program for this year’s ComSciCon Chicago 2024 Packed with insightful sessions, expert speakers, and interactive workshops. Get ready for our ComSciCon_Chicago 2024 full of learning, networking, and inspiration Post Design: MS. Delia Alkhatib ~BioMED #CHICAGO

📢NEW! Uma Ramakrishnan Anubhab & team have uncovered five distinct elephant populations across India, revealing more diversity than previously known. This latest study uncovers new insights into genetic history of India’s #Asianelephants🐘 Read here: bit.ly/3zExHC5

From operating a robot arm to practicing CPR to identifying a 200-million-year-old fossil, everyone can see themselves in science *one week* from today at the #SouthSideScienceFestival! Join us for a day of demos, panels, food, and fun on Oct. 5! bit.ly/3XvB9YP

Happy to share our new review on ARGs out now in Nature Reviews Genetics! Rasmus Nielsen, Yun Deng 邓赟, and I intend this to be both a useful reference for ARG novices and experts alike. A particular focus of this review is how ARGs inform us about population genetic processes...

We are hiring! Looking for two postdocs. Topics: a) ancestry informed polygenic scores for mixed ancestry individuals and b) integrating polygenic risk models with clinically actionable rare variants for comprehensive disease risk assessment. genomics.ut.ee/en/content/job…

🚨New Preprint Alert: Our work led by Jinghui Li is up on bioRxiv. We re-analyzed large maps of trans-pQTLs, and found that protein–protein interactions shape trans-regulatory impact of genetic variation on protein expression and complex traits. A brief thread🧵👇

UChicago biophysicist Jasmine Nirody is unraveling the mysteries of how (and why) things move—from snakes to jumping spiders to E. coli. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6014WHZ8g

I'm recruiting a PhD student at Dartmouth College through the EEES graduate program this year! Application deadline is Dec 1. Please reach out if you are interested in #aDNA, population history, community engagement theory and methods development raquelfleskes.com/about-3

I am looking for a postdoc to work in theoretical population genetics. We focus on theory and methods for inferring demographic histories and selection using modern and ancient genomic data. Come join our amazing community in Chicago. More info here: steinrueckenlab.uchicago.edu/files/2024/11/…

Excited that our work describing oral microbiome differences across populations in Nepal is out! See Aashish's thread below! This is Erica Ryu's first (data) paper from the lab, and as always, so wonderful to work with Aashish Jha

Excited to be heading to #ASHG24 today! I’ll be presenting at Wednesday’s poster session (Board 3016W) about our latest work on spatial sampling strategies & deleterious variants - come say hi!

Excited to share our review article on Denisovans, now out in Nature Genetics🥳I am very grateful to Emilia Huerta for making this possible! Check it out 🔎🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

It was great talking to Beatrice Bowlby from BioTechniques about our research and, more broadly, about aDNA. Part 1 out now, stay tuned for part 2 next week!

And here is part 2 of the BioTechniques feature by Beatrice on our recent work on genetic and oral histories in Southwest India (cell.com/hgg-advances/f…).
