🧑‍🏫 We are happy to present a new initiative! The first draft of an 'Introduction to #AncientMetagenomics' textbook! 📔 #metagenomics #ancientDNA Edited by James Fellows Yates | @[email protected] Warinner Group spaam-community.org/intro-to-ancie…

#MetagenomicsMonday 🧬Mubwindi Swamp's #ancientDNA spills 2200 years of biodiversity secrets in Uganda's Bwindi Forest. 🇺🇬🔍While the taxonomic richness holds strong, prioritizing genomic surveys is key for the future of tropical biodiversity studies! 🌿🌏 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

#MetagenomicsMonday 🧬 In this study, researchers investigate the preservation of DNA in marine and freshwater sediments. Utilizing #ancientDNA, they aim to reconstruct trophic interactions and evolutionary adaptations in historical ecosystems.🌿 #sedaDNA nature.com/articles/s4200…
