🦙🧬Pleased to present our new paper out in @natcomms.nature.com 🧬🦙 Palaeogenomics of early camelid use in the Atacama Desert (Chile). We used ancient DNA to revisit animals being hunted/herded >3,000 years ago. Manuscript here: rdcu.be/eVwwl #aDNA #popgen Thread below🧵 Reposts appreciated :)

Brown bears participated in Roman spectacles, read more in our latest paper! @lpcg.bsky.social #BaBBe

This #FestiwalNauki at CeNT, we have two aDNA sessions to feed your curiosity! Take this opportunity to learn about the methods and achievements in aDNA with @martynamolak.bsky.social and @mateuszbaca.bsky.social Register with [email protected] from the 15th of September. Details in 🧵

Saturday, September 27, 2025 - 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM During the last ice age, Europe was inhabited by many species of animals, such as mammoths and cave hyenas. We can learn about their history by examining the DNA preserved in their remains with @mateuszbaca.bsky.social

Last week at the 7th conference on Species and genetic diversity of the Pleistocene and Holocene fauna in Eurasia in Smoleń, Poland.

Did you get a chance to look at @kaaviya.bsky.social and @mateuszbaca.bsky.social posters? @martynamolak.bsky.social had a great talk too! @isba11.bsky.social @isbarchaeology.bsky.social

NEW PAPER ALERT! @naturalice.bsky.social @popovicdani.bsky.social @mateuszbaca.bsky.social academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a...

Are you attending ISBA & working on ancient animal DNA? On Tuesday 26th ~2-4pm we will Board the AaRC with an in-person event! Join us for seminars, a round table event, and of course networking! If you'd like to attend and/or present, sign up below @isba11.bsky.social @aarc-community.bsky.social

Thanks to #NationalMuseumofScotland for being such wonderful hosts to our students and fantastic collaborators. Your support makes research like this possible!

@mateuszbaca.bsky.social at the CeNT Symposium yesterday, following the ceremonial naming of the main auditorium as the Piotr Węgleński Auditorium, in honor of the late Prof. Piotr Węgleński. A meaningful tribute to a remarkable scientist and mentor.

Huge congratulations to @naturalice.bsky.social, one of our PhD students, for winning the Best Oral Presentation at Młodzi w Paleontologii XIII in Kraków last week! Her talk on bats🦇stole the show, and we couldn’t be prouder. Way to go! #WomenInScience #BatScience #LPCG

@mateuszbaca.bsky.social at #ECM9 Did you catch his talk on field voles?

Wrapped up an amazing public outreach event at UW! Our lab ran a hands-on workshop on aDNA for #DOKO —starting with a lecture by @naturalice.bsky.social and then some real lab work with Gabriela and @kaaviya.bsky.social Introducing aDNA to curious minds! #ScienceForEveryone

New preprint alert🚨 We posted the first version our reconstruction of the evolutionary history of field vole species complex. We generated more than a 100 mitochondrial and 26 nuclear genomes from ancient and modern field voles. Here is what we found, a 🧵 #ancientDNA t.co/hHy1vakGr0

Have a look at our first 2025 Blog entry from @aarc-community.bsky.social where we interviewed @maridehasque.bsky.social and Ophélie Lebrasseur about the research projects they presented in the November 2024 #AaRCTikTalks. animal-adna.org/blog/2025/01... #ancientDNA #aDNA #mammoth #chicken

At Stockholm University, we are now starting a 2-year Master’s programme in Evolutionary Genomics! Topics include population genetics, phylogenetics, molecular & genome evolution, DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and palaeogenetics. Please spread the word! www.su.se/english/sear...

Want to become a palaeogeneticist? 🧬🧪🦷💀🦣🧬 This MSc programme coult be a good start!
