Out in @science.org today: A 5500-year-old Treponema pallidum genome from Sabana de Bogotá, Colombia Huge congrats to @davidebozzi.bsky.social Naz, Miguel, Lars, Anna, and Betsy for the amazing work. It’s an honor to collaborate with you.

Treponemal diseases might have been with us much longer than previously thought! In our recent study, we used ancient DNA to reconstruct a 5,500-year-old 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘮 genome, revealing a previously unknown divergent subspecies. You can check it out here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Fascinating that the #NobelPeaceCenter felt the need to clarify this today. Someone clearly needed the memo.

So proud that this is out 🐺⏳🧬🦏. First paper as a senior author (co-shared with @lovedalen.bsky.social; thanks for a great opportunity) and led by my awesome former MSc student @solveiggudjonsd.bsky.social and a brilliant CPG postdoc @edanalord.bsky.social (1/n) OA: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/...

Read our new paper in Genome Biology & Evolution to learn more about how sequencing the genome from a 14,000 year old wolf puppy's last meal yielded novel insights into the woolly rhino's extinction: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... 📷 Mietje Germonpré

Researchers recover a woolly rhino genome from inside a frozen wolf's stomach. The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal. New study from @cpgsthlm.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

Guðjónsdóttir, @jcchacond.bsky.social et al. sequenced the genome of a >14kya old woolly rhino from muscle found inside a permafrost-preserved wolf's stomach. Demographic inference suggests a rapid extinction for the woolly rhino. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf239 #genome #evolution #aDNA

We have opened Early Bird registration for #ICP2026 🚨 And you REALLY want to register early, since it's cheaper 🤑 and the (free) conference dinner at the Town Hall (the same venue as the Nobel banquet) has limited places. Looking forward to welcoming you next summer in Stockholm!

WOW❗🤯 The amount and quality of the abstracts we've received have completely blown us away! More than 300 abstracts from researchers at all levels and from 33 countries. We will communicate the selected talks and open registration soon 👉 icp2026.palaeogenomics.org #ICP2026 will be UNMISSABLE 😍💪

Our manuscript on bovine deep-time paleogenomics at Denisova Cave and in the broader mid-latitude Asia is online! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... 🦬🦴🧬 Main findings in the 🧵 below ⬇️ @cpgsthlm.bsky.social @genomebiolevol.bsky.social #aDNA

We are recruiting! If you like evolutionary biology, microbial genomics, and host-pathogen interactions we have a PhD opening at @ugiatucl.bsky.social using population-scale metagenomics to map global phage diversity and uncover evolutionary signatures that could point to new antimicrobials.

🚨 Reminder to send in your abstracts for the palaeogenomics conference in Stockholm! 🧬🦠🐕💃🏼 If your results are still preliminary, my tip is to keep the abstract broad rather than skip submitting altogether 😉 See the post below for the price estimate and looking forward to seeing you there 🥳! #aDNA

Pausing baby bubble to say: the last chapter of my thesis is finally out! The arctic fox has been threatened in Scandinavia since the early 1900s.
