@evanirvingpease.bsky.socialNew #aDNA paper! 💀🧬
Ancient DNA from colonial Montréal challenges narratives of a French–Indigenous “admixed founding population”—narratives that continue to shape false-Indigeneity debates today.
Our study of Notre-Dame Cemetery finds exclusively French European ancestry.
@spaam-community.bsky.socialAncient DNA from 16th-century #Medici remains reveals traces of #Plasmodium #falciparum and P. #malariae 🦟🧬, including a previously uncharacterized P. falciparum haplotype.

@clusterroots.bsky.socialErbgut aus alten Knochen kann viel darüber verraten, wie Menschen in der Steinzeit gelebt haben, ob sie verwandt waren und ob sie Krankheiten hatten. Wie das funktioniert?

@chris-bloke.mastodon.acm.org.ap.brid.gyPretty impressive work, recovering ancient human DNA from samples associated with cave art on walls in caves in Portugal. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-74234-2

@monicamedhist.bsky.socialAn important passage hitting on the centrality of the Justinianic Plague in these new debates about the "Fall" of Rome. A warning: some of these "debates" are overblown. I still recommend Sarris 2022 (n. 100) as the clearest-eyed assessment of the issues. #histmed #aDNA #LateAntiquity #MedievalSky
@physaliacourses.bsky.socialThanks to this amazing team of instructors and to everyone who has joined us for the 5th edition of the #PopulationGenomics using #aDNA course!
@cegamorim.bsky.social @arunsethuraman.bsky.social & @ppezov.bsky.social
@gingerhowley.bsky.socialWe've [with @louis-lhote.bsky.social] published an article on @theconversation.com about our work on #adna of sheeppox virus.
@marmole6.bsky.socialIn our new #AaRC Blog entry from @aarc-community.bsky.social we interviewed Dr. Michael Campana about his new research where he described how old bones can trace the African lion decline throughout the 20th century. 🦁🦁

@mick2474.bsky.socialEver wanted to map sequencing data to a reference genome super easily with a single command?
I have, so I made a tool for it.
PlainMap handles mixed SE/PE, different FASTQ formats, modern + #aDNA, pilot testing, and restartable runs then gives you a BAM + stats.
@danmf.bsky.socialGreat seeing old & new faces at the EMBO|EMBL Symposium! 🧬✨
Presented how #OCCUPOMICS uses genetic admixture to estimate chronologies—cutting bone sampling & costs in #aDNA.
@dearcheoloog.bsky.socialWe hoorden er weinig meer over, maar het onderzoek (#aDNA onderzoek) naar de mogelijke resten van d’Artagnan loopt nog, wel mogelijk met een ongewisse uitkomst. #dartagnan

@physaliacourses.bsky.socialWe’ve just kicked off the 5th edition of our #aDNA #PopulationGenomics course with a brilliant lecture by @cegamorim.bsky.social ! 🧬
We have an exciting week ahead with this amazing team of instructors @cegamorim.bsky.social @arunsethuraman.bsky.social @ppezov.bsky.social 🚀
@spaam-community.bsky.socialA #methods paper for #MetagenomicsMonday! 🦠🧬💻
This new primer and #protocol provides practical guidance for assembling and validating #ancient #microbial #genomes. It introduces dedicated #aDNA support in #nf-core/mag.

@apatk.bsky.socialRepresenting #UTInstituteofGenomics on Day 3 of #EESHuman, @embo.org @events.embl.org. Presented my work on pop-specific haplotype fingerprint, while #JRodrigo_flores abt biases in #aDNA imputation for selection inference.
Great science & new perspectives on human past! 🧬
