Great work from a great researcher and friend! @bbonucci.bsky.social ❤️

Congrats to @fravasini.bsky.social, @beniamino77.bsky.social and all the coauthors! 🎉

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.

@fravasini.bsky.social @beniamino77.bsky.social @eugeniadat.bsky.social et al. leverage the genome of a new Roman Republic human individual, proposing a novel perspective for Eastern Mediterranean ancestry in the Imperial gene pool. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf149 #genome #evolution #humanevolution

Great imputation application on very low coverage data! Congrats @sabiagini.bsky.social! 🎉🎉🎉

📝 New research rewrites Roman genetic history: Eastern Mediterranean ancestry appeared 200 years before the Empire, likely via early East to West movements in the Late Republic through Southern Italy or Eastern ties @eugeniadat.bsky.social 🧬 #AcademicSky 👇 academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-...

🚨 New paper out in Genome Biology and Evolution! We present new ancient DNA evidence from Central Italy suggesting that Eastern Mediterranean genetic influence predates the Roman Empire. @beniamino77.bsky.social @fravasini.bsky.social 🧵👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... 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...

Check out our ancient DNA paper on the maritime Punic civilization! 🦴🧬🌊 We find that their Levantine Phoenician cultural ancestors contributed surprisingly little ancestry to Punic sites in the central and western Mediterranean! (1/4) doi.org/10.1038/s415... #aDNA #PopGen #Punic #Phoenician

🧬 The First Annual HAAM Meeting is coming on August 26, 2025 in Turin🇮🇹 (and online)! ✨ Flash talks, career panel & community updates. 📅 Submit your abstract for a flash talk by June 15 📢 We're looking for volunteers to join the organizing team #HAAM #ISBA2025 @isbarchaeology.bsky.social

Our study analyzing the DNA of ~7ky-old Pastoralists from the "Green Sahara" is out! Who were these people, and how did herding spread into the region when the present-day desert was dotted with water bodies? 🧬🦴🏜️ (1/7) #PopGen #GreenSahara #aDNA www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper on local adaptation in Andean populations is out in HPGG! We identify genetic adaptations that help Andeans live in one of the world's most challenging environments. Please have a look :) "Human adaptation in the Andes Mountains" doi.org/10.47248/hpg...

DNA analysis of the Picenes reveals genetic ties to Balkans & Italy, reflecting trade & migration. Roman expansion reshaped their ancestry, highlighting Italy’s early cosmopolitan history. #AncientDNA #Italy #IronAge #Picenes #PopulationGenetics

More genome-wide data from Africa and more insights on the Green Sahara! Great!!! 😃🧬🏝️
