🕵️‍♀️🦇 New research has rewritten the evolutionary history of bats, providing evidence the winged mammals most likely originated in Europe during the late Palaeocene, some 65-60 million years ago. @emmateeling.bsky.social

Study finds that bats most likely originated in Europe around 65 million years ago, before spreading across the world. 30 bat 🦇 genomes 🧬 were sequenced at @mpi-cbg.de & @dcgenomecenter.bsky.social. MPI-CBG Alumni @hillermich.bsky.social & Eugene Myers were involved. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

We hosted the six weeks long summer school Dive into Research for 16 students. They explored combinatorial structures in algebraic statistics and game theory and how mathematical software can be applied to these problems. Collab with MPI for Math in Science (Leipzig). @csbdresden.bsky.social

We are hosting a student from the University of Greifswald @unigreifswald.bsky.social . Maxine Boerner is studying human biology. During her internship in our lab, she is learning how to isolate proteins from diverse biological materials and analyze them using mass spectrometry. @mpi-cbg.de
