Finally out! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…. John Novembre, @mattstoneback, and I created a tool to screen low coverage human ancient DNA for runs of homozygosity (ROH), the genomic signs of parental relatedness. We analyzed 1,785 humans who lived up to 40 ky ago. Here is what we found:

The origins of the modern domestic horses cracked at last! I am so thankful to our dream team of co-authors all around the world and at CAGToulouse #ERCpegasus. Full open access, no pay wall. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hiring a postdoc researcher for 2 years to help analyze an extensive panel of complete ancient horse genomes & more. #ERC_Pegasus You ll be welcome to a highly international environment in Southern France CAGToulouse cagt.cnrs.fr See bit.ly/3pcw2KC Please RT

I recommend the group, town and especially the supervisor!

Glad to share a new preprint! We report genome-wide data for 33 Ashkenazi Jews from 14th-century Erfurt, Germany, along with insights on the Ashkenazi founder event and medieval population structure. Let's dive into the story of the Erfurt Jews. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our paper published today @nature describes an ancient epidemic that occurred in central Eurasia in the years 1338-1339. We find that the epidemic was caused by plague (Y. pestis) and that it was associated with the beginnings of the Black Death. nature.com/articles/s4158…

So, kids in bed, can finally tweet about our paper that came out today: nature.com/articles/s4158… And since it's trendy, let me take a stab at this thread-thing. 1/11

Congratulations to #Svante Pääbo, director @ the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology MPI-EVA Leipzig on winning this year's #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine! 🙃😁🙃😃🤗 😃🤗🍾🍾🤗🍾🤗🙃

Applications open for a @ARIES_DTP PhD studentship on red fox population genomics, in my soon-to-open research group at @biouea. Many species are struggling under environmental and human pressures, but the fox is thriving. Let's understand why! uea.ac.uk/course/phd-doc… Please RT!

New in Science Advances! Our paper focusing on population history of Upper Mesopotamia in Neolithic Era is finally out! #ScienceAdvancesResearch #ancientDNA science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper on the DNA of medieval Ashkenazi Jews is now published! Congrats to all co-authors and thanks reviewers/editors! We analyzed 33 genomes from a 14th-century Jewish cemetery in Erfurt, Germany. See thread for key additions since the preprint. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
