Our work on ancient Irish goat was covered in the Irish Times. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Biopathocodicology?? 🦠🧬🐑 (1/4) Check out this groundbreaking new #aDNA #pathology paper by @louis-lhote.bsky.social @gingerhowley.bsky.social and colleagues! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Despite my insomnia, I'm very happy to share our preprint: a multi-disciplinary assessment of a sheep mass mortality event from ~18th century France. We report the first ancient sheeppox virus (think smallpox) and the Taenia hydatigena (nasty roundworm) genomes. #aDNA

Our paper on imputation of ancient goat genomes is now available at GBE - congratulations to @jolijnerven.bsky.social #aDNA

Huge congratulations to Zhe and everyone involved! 😊

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue. Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October. kevingdaly.github.io

Our new paper shows how a multidisciplinary approach (ancient proteins + DNA) reveals the long history of dairy in Armenia! 🥛🐄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

Check the package website for more information, example workflows, benchmarking and ideas on how to use tidygenclust: github.com/EvolEcolGrou...

🚨🧬New #preprint and R package from the lab out in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🧬🚨: 'tidygenclust' combines the functionality of ADMIXTURE, fastmixture and Clumppling into R - allowing for reproducible clustering analyses and plotting all in one place! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Turns out imputation of introgressed archaic regions in aDNA works really well — sometimes even better than for the rest of the genome. More on this (and other cool results) in our new preprint 👇 #aDNA #ArchaicIntrogression #imputation doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We are excited to announce that tidypopgen – a new package for rapid population genetic workflows in R – is now available at evolecolgroup.github.io/tidypopgen/ 🧬💻 Read more in the preprint describing its features here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #popgen #Rpackage #genetics 1/2

🚨 NEW preprint🚨 Our latest study @HPS MPI-GEA @elliescerri.bsky.social & @eegcam.bsky.social models #malaria risk over the past 74,000 years revealing its powerful role in shaping human habitat choice and dispersal since the late Pleistocene in sub-Saharan Africa 🦟🌍 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Massive congrats to the team on this amazing paper! So happy for everyone involved!!👏

Check out our new paper providing new insights into the Chalcolithic Armenia through a multiproxy approach (and more to come!) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A huge congratulations to @ceciliapad.bsky.social and @eegcam.bsky.social! 🤗👏

I have officially started my new scholarship. Grateful to @gerda-henkel-stiftung.de for funding and to @brad-dan.bsky.social for the support!

Apply to become part of an amazing team! 👇

New insights on the domestication of sheep from @gingerhowley.bsky.social ! 🐑

Science, future and Guinness! @lindaongaro.bsky.social @anahit19.bsky.social

Delighted that our new paper on female-centred kinship in Celtic Britain is out in Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you @ajhgnews.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk about our recent paper and also share my story!

#ICYM we recently took part in a cool @science.org #paper about population connectivity and #cumulativeculture in chimpanzee! Congratulations to the authors including our postdoc @ceciliapad.bsky.social! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #anthropology #popgen

Thank you to everyone from @eegcam.bsky.social ! Nothing would be possible without you 😊

Hello world! We are the Evolutionary Ecology Group at the University of Cambridge (UK). We work on various organisms, from humans to invertebrates, from mammals to birds and from reptiles to fish, to study how they respond and adapt to variable environments. Find more here: eeg.zoo.cam.ac.uk

I am happy to share my latest article published on @uk.theconversation.com, written for a broad audience, where I summarise our review about the Denisovans! 🧬✨ Discover their fascinating genetics and how they shaped human history. theconversation.com/their-dna-su...

My first post on Bluesky is about our just-published paper! 🦋 The first whole-genome study on Armenian population, aiming to check the Balkan theory on their origins proposed by Herodotus, as well as their demographic history and genetic variation, is finally out! www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex... 1/6

It's finally out—the first whole-genome study on the Armenian population! A huge congratulations to @anahit19.bsky.social for all the hard work that led to this amazing paper. 🎉 www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex... #PopGen

Yay! Great paper! Massive congrats to @anahit19.bsky.social & the rest 🤗
