Excited to share our new preprint🙌 It's the first human WGS study in Sudan. We uncover one of the strongest selection signals to date, pointing to post-admixture adaptation to malaria in Copts. Huge thanks to all co-authors. @aidaandres.bsky.social @jgarcia-cal.bsky.social @ebosch1972.bsky.social

#WithoutNSF I wouldn’t be a scientist. I studied thanks to an NSF fellowship. NSF funded my PhD and postdoc, and funds the work of my students today. W/O NSF our team couldn’t do the ancient DNA studies that teach us about our ancestors and their legacies. #SaveNSF www.nievescolonlab.org

#WithoutNSF my lab won’t receive the critical funding it needs to continue studying how ancient pathogens adapted to human hosts. #NSF supports our country's leadership in science and innovation. #SupportNSF #SaveNSF www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxOE...

#WithoutNSF the next generation of scientists is at risk. #NSF supports graduate training & research. This includes my current student @marioapata.bsky.social who is studying ancient population history in N. Chile & how they adapted to high arsenic levels in H2O www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4P6...

So Happy for the warm welcome or our PopGen bookclub! Each month, at IBE, we review a new chapter of @gcbias.bsky.social book, which is totally open-source! We encourage you to take a look at it! Link: github.com/cooplab/popg...

També vull agraïr a l’Elena i al Francesc per fer ells principalment l’esforç de traduir l’article al català🌹. Vam pensar que si volíem fer un retorn a la societat de la nostra investigació, era molt adequat fer-ho en la llengua del lloc on són les dades. Podeu llegir-lo aquí:

We find an overlap of signatures of selection and genomic regions showing local ancestry deviation, which may indicate selection events facilitated by admixture. For example, the selection signals in the LCT locus and the MHC region both showed Steppe ancestry enrichment. 🏇

With the information of local ancestry, we inferred regions with an excess of any main ancestral components that shaped European populations: West Hunter Gatherers, Early European farmers, and Steppe ancestry. 👣

Using 704 whole genome sequences, we discovered novel candidates for positive selection putatively associated with immunity (UBL7, SMYD1, VAC14) and diet (FDFT1)🥩. Interestingly, SMYD1 is related to the presence of antigen AnWj, a receptor of Haemophilus influenzae.🦠

We aimed to detect specific signals of adaptation in the Spanish population and infer which role past admixtures, such as the Neolithic Revolution, play in this process.🧑‍🌾

I am delighted to share with you some new insights into the selection processes that shaped the Spanish population! This work has been led by @ebosch1972.bsky.social @francesccalafell.bsky.social ( @upf.edu ) in collaboration with Rafael de Cid ( @igtp.bsky.social ) and @sabiagini.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Great work by Julen Aizpurua, with the help of David Comas. It wouldn't have been possible without locals Elisa María and Maria Barber, who collected the samples and provided context. Big thanks to all of you! (2/2)

This just out! rdcu.be/d5ptO. We compared SNP arrays and exomes in Eivissans and Minorcans, found that drift was way more intense in the former than in the latter, although, fortunately, Eivissans did not accumulate more deleterious mutations (1/2)

Hello there! 👋 Sharing our last perspective piece 📄 👀: “Unlocking hidden dimensions of genomic diversity within species” doi.org/10.32942/X2Z... Co-ordinated together with @diegoharta.bsky.social and "not-on-bsky" Marina Brasó-Vives @mbv_marina.bsky.social
