How did farming reach the Southern Andes? Through migration or cultural transmission? Our new paper in @nature.com combines ancient DNA, isotopes, archaeology & paleoclimate to reconstruct 2,000+ years of history in Uspallata, Mendoza. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A Thread🧵 (1/25+)

The amazing cover arts made by @zhurart.bsky.social illustrating our recent publication in @natimmunol.nature.com A true masterclass in science × design — turning immunology into visuals that are both elegant and striking 👏🎨

Paper alert 📢: What drives variation in humoral responses to viruses? collab with @etienne-patin.bsky.social @darraghduffy.bsky.social @lquintanamurci.bsky.social we show that for ~98k viral epitopes immunodominance vary by genetics, sex and origin: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#Communiqué 🗞️ Des scientifiques montrent que l’âge, le sexe biologique et le patrimoine génétique modulent la quantité d’anticorps produits lors d’une réponse immunitaire, mais aussi les régions précises du virus vers lesquelles les anticorps sont dirigés. 👉 www.cnrs.fr/fr/presse/co...

Happy to share our last study on how age, biological sex and genetics affect not only the extent of antibody responses against viruses but also the specific viral epitopes recognised. Thanks to Axel Olin @EtiennePatin @LabExMI @institutpasteur @cdf1530 @CNRS www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Séminaire sur les apports récents de la génomique à l'histoire évolutive humaine au cours des derniers dix millénaires

🧬 The MOOC “Human Population and Evolutionary Genetics” is open for registration!! 👉 bit.ly/4fw3Zje 💀🌍 Where do we come from? What was the migration history of our species? What role does the Neanderthal genome play in our genetic heritage? How has our species adapted to different environments?

Why do Polynesians gave high risk of metabolic disease? Dang Liu tests the thrifty genotype vs population adaprive patterns (considering % Austronesian & Papuan ancestries), demographics (strong bottleneck in Eastern Polynesians!). Results: both!! BMI thrifty, HDL & others under drift & more!! 🤩

1/ @etienne-patin.bsky.social is this week’s former @casanovalab.bsky.social trainee in the spotlight! He’s currently a population geneticist and CNRS Research Director at @pasteur.fr in Paris research.pasteur.fr/en/member/et...
