Our new study is out! We analysed 40 Malaise trap samples collected across Sweden by the Insect Biome Atlas project using #metabarcoding and #metagenomics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @cpgsthlm.bsky.social @tvdvalk.bsky.social

One week left to apply for our postdoc position on Deep-Time Small Rodent Palaeogenomics! This is a 2-year full-time position that includes Swedish employment benefits, as well as funding for research expenses and work-related travel. More info and application link: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Highly recommended! Hanna’s team is doing ground-breaking research, Stockholm is a lovely city, and a Swedish PhD position is very attractive - an actual job with paid holidays, sick leave, parental leave and pension rights.

After a long and frustrating discussion with the Cell Press ”help”-desk, led by Ben and Tom, the paper is finally made open access (in line with what we had requested and expected from the beginning) 😅

The world's oldest bacterial DNA found in a million-year-old mammoth! New results from researchers at #CpgSthlm published in Cell! Paper: www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

I'm hiring a postdoc... By combining samples that are more than a million years old with the short generation time of small rodents, we hope to gain a unique window into evolution unfolding across millions of generations!

#FossilFriday Scientists sequenced Siberian #mammoth genomes from genetically healthy animals to those who were isolated on Wrangel Island before extinction. What they found has implications for endangered animals today. 🦣 (Art: @bzaiken.bsky.social) arstechnica.com/science/2024...

Should probably introduce myself! I’m a PhD student in evolutionary and conservation genomics, studying the arctic fox. I use ancient and modern DNA to explore domestication, introgression, adaptation, speciation, and responses to climate change. Excited to connect with fellow scientists!

Congratulations Dr. Cocker on a successful PhD defence of ‘Arctic ground squirrel middens as palaeoecological archives of east Beringia’. Many thanks to Allan Ashworth for making the trip, and Beth Shapiro, Britta Jensen and JP Zonneveld for examining the dissertation. Great things ahead.

The 3rd Ancient Environmental Genomics PhD course (2025) is now open for registration. This has been a true pleasure to teach (and hard work) both times. Come join us and have a week of in-depth hands-on work with ancient metagenomic data and the latest analysis tools. phdcourses.dk/Course/124659

We now have an answer! Our postdoc Gonzalo (@gog1693.bsky.social) and his student Sofia have analyzed DNA from this frozen carcass. It's a porcupine 😲 🤯
