Denisovans or their close relatives identified in the fossil record using a gene regulatory phenotyping method. Now out: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

*ALERT! GLOBAL GENETIC DIVERSITY TREND RE-ANALYSIS* "Signals of consistent genetic diversity decline are not yet measurable in global meta-analysis" doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🧵 Excited to share a new preprint from our lab looking into signals of disease-burden in aDNA (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)! It has long been speculated that transition to sedentary, agricultural and urbanized lifestyle increases disease burden, but can we see this in aDNA?

Given two genomes, can you tell who’s taller or more prone to a disease? How confident can you be? A fresh take on phenotypic inference, now out: rdcu.be/exW4f See thread🧵👇:

1/ Hey y'all, I'm excited to share my latest paper, which is out now in PNAS! We introduce FAVA, a statistical framework to measure compositional variability across microbiome samples. If you want to measure variability across a stacked bar plot, FAVA is for you! Paper: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

New paper on the evolution of sociaility in bees by Ohad Peled, with Guy Bloch, is out on Current Biology! We took a data-driven approach to the classification of social level, and studied the evolutionary history of the social phenotpic space. Read all about it: shorturl.at/7J5zx

Excited to present modelRxiv, dedicated to ecological and evolutionary models, now in Ecology Letters! LLMs now make this idea feasible: a single interactive repository for models written in different languages. Let us know if you have feedback or want help adding in your models tinyurl.com/yp75n7ws

Save the dates June 2-6 for the second annual meeting of @smtpb.bsky.social on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology, hosted in Chicago by @nitmb.bsky.social. More details coming later. www.nitmb.org/modeling-and...

our article on selecting diagnostic SNPs (and accompanying pipeline) is now online at MER. We are excited that it is getting so much use already and look forward to extending it for more use cases in the near future! Thanks to all for helpful feedback. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
