I have funding for a 2-year dry-lab postdoc to join our team @humanevouu.bsky.social 🧪 (Deadline Oct 21st) The project will utilize modern and #aDNA data from humans and sheep to study environmental adaptation (including method development and simulations). Please share! www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

❓ Do you develop a #nextflow pipeline for #metagenomics, #metataxonomics, #metatranscriptomics, #metaproteomics, etc? 🧑‍💻 I'm looking for #bioinformatics developers to give demos of their #opensource pipelines to the scientific community in a ‘Meta-*omics Nextflow pipeline community exhibition […]

Open postdoc position in in my lab in Berlin @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de. Join us to push the frontier in ancient microbial genomics. Please apply until Oct 17th. Reach out in case you have any questions. www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/2193291/job_...

We are looking for a postdoc to study single-cell transcriptional heterogeneity in the human skin microbiome. We have a new protocol mostly developed, but need someone to see it through. Experience with protocol dev or RNAseq appreciated. Funded by a new grant from MIT-HEALS.

We have a new article out in Cell! Learn more about plague in prehistoric livestock: "Bronze Age Yersinia pestis genome from sheep sheds light on hosts and evolution of a prehistoric plague lineage" www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The FIRST International Conference on Palaeogenomics will happen in Stockholm, Sweden, June 23-26, 2026! Topics will encompass all corners of ancient DNA research, from humans to wildlife and sediments🧬🦣💀🦠 Save the dates ✅ Check the website icp2026.palaeogenomics.org and follow us for updates!

My group at is hiring a PhD student to explore how fungal pathogens that live in the environment will adapt their genomes, acquire new phenotypes, and perhaps even increased infectivity as a result of climate change. Please share! More info and applications at @ jobs.uni-jena.de/vrbup

Ancient Yersinia pestis genome discovered in 4,000-year-old sheep tooth sheds new light on a mysterious infectious disease that plagued prehistoric Eurasia. New research by @keyfm.bsky.social and @i-light-maka.bsky.social now published in @cellpress.bsky.social: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

First paper of the Key lab is out! We present the first prehistoric Y. pestis genome from a domesticated animal - a sheep - providing evidence that domestication elevated human infection risk with plague thousands of years ago. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

We are on the lookout for postdocs for two different projects at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and the human microbiome. See thread for more information and reach out!

Congrats Lisa and team.

📢Job alert! W3 (Full) Professorship in Human Ecology at the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment, University of Tübingen. ⛓️‍💥 berufungen.uni-tuebingen.de Deadline for applications: May 22, 2025 🗓 Please share and repost 🙏🏼 🤩 For questions please contact Prof. Harvati.

We are searching for a new professor in genetics (W3) at Osnabrück University. Come and join us. 👇 www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet...

Ancient pathogen DNA from animals can shed light on zoonotic processes in the deep past,but to this day reconstructed genomes are rare. In our new ms we explore the possibility of identifying pathogen DNA from the zooarchaeological record across 6000 years of Eurasian history doi.org/10.1101/2025...

For a palate refresher, please enjoy @quevan.bsky.social 's thread on our latest preprint. I'm really excited about PHLAME's ability to get precise strain level, evolutionary contextualized, information out of difficult sample types (like the skin microbiome, where many strains coexist).

Finally getting some of my research for my PhD out there! Hopefully soon in a journal near you ;) Ancient Y. pestis infection from a sheep falls on the LNBA lineage, previously only known from humans! +molecular evolutionary analysis to leverage the ever increasing number of ancient genomes known!

Many zoonotic diseases are believed to have emerged during prehistory, but can we actually identify their past host range using ancient DNA? In the first publication of the Key Lab we present a 4000y old Yersinia pestis genome reconstructed from domesticated sheep. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
