Please circulate among interested and motivated students!

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue. Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October. kevingdaly.github.io

This paper is wild. www.nature.com/articles/s41... "Clonal males may thus be regarded as organelles at the superorganism level". Whatever mitochondrial challenges you may face, at least none of your organelles is an ENTIRE INSECT.

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...

Announcing SimHumanity, a baseline SLiM 5.0 model of the full human genome, replete with demographic history, autosomes, X/Y, and mtDNA. A shared starting point for reproducible evolutionary simulations. We’d love your feedback! #SLiM #evolution #genomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mammoths in Mexico! A fascinating read by @rpocisv.bsky.social @science.org on the discovery and analysis of a massive Pleistocene fossil trove beneath an airport in Mexico City. 🧬 🦣 🇲🇽 www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Great postdoc opportunity! Come and work with us in beautiful Stockholm ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🚨JOB ALERT!🚨 Postdoc position at #CpgSthlm on Microtine Palaeogenomics! Join our deep-time genomics project, funded by @erc.europa.eu, and help us explore lemming and vole evolution using ancient DNA from fossils spanning the last 2.6 million years 🐭🦴🧬 Apply here: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Happy for my dear friends and colleagues @paleogenomics.bsky.social & @fsanchezquinto.bsky.social and their team, who just published a study @science.org describing the genetic diversity of mammoths 🦣 found while building an airport in 🇲🇽. DNA usually does not preserve well in warmer climates More 👇🏽

Mammoths’ genomes from Mexico? 🦣🇲🇽🧬 Yes! And you can find the full story here 🤩-> shorturl.at/xjIvy Congrats to all the authors!

Lo logramos! @paleogenomics.bsky.social @vvillaislas.bsky.social @mashaals.bsky.social @jcchacond.bsky.social #EduardoArrieta #AngelesTavares #MiriamBravo, #AleCastillo #MarceSandoval, Muchas gracias por su gran entusiasmo, dedicación y entrega. (Ayúdenme a taggear a quienes hacen falta).

Thrilled to share our study sequencing genetic data from tropical mammoths 🏝️🦣. First DNA recovered from Columbian mammoths southern than USA shorturl.at/xjIvy. Thanks to all collaborators, you were key to this success! See below a fantastic note covering the paper by the great @rpocisv.bsky.social 👇

La historia de cómo secuenciamos los mamtus 🦣 más tropicales 🏝️ secuenciados al momento la pueden leer aquí 👇https://shorturl.at/KE6Ux. Redactadó por el gran @rpocisv.bsky.social. Muchas gracias Rodrigo por cubrir con tanto entusiasmo la nota sobre nuestro trabajo.

Hace seis años veía con ilusión en los medios de comunicación la noticia extraordinaria del hallazgo de múltiples restos de megafauna (hoy miles) encontrados durante la construcción del AIFA. En ese momento no imaginé que iba a tener la oportunidad de participar de esta gran aventura 1/N

The @scilifelab.se ancient DNA unit is looking for an bioinformatician placed at Uppsala University. This is a great way to be part of diverse #aDNA research projects as a staff scientist with permanent (!!) employment: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

My team has updated our free database of POSTDOC fellowships. This database contains 286 entries. For each entry, we provide a link, short description, deadline, amount, and eligibility criteria. Download this updated and expanded database here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

A difficulty in scrutinising ancient DNA from the outside is that the original methods are discussed in arcane terms in separate papers cast across the innumerable winds of scientific publishing. Here are 2 papers which attempt to discuss collections of common methods with plainer language.

Nos vemos mañana jueves 3 de julio a través de las redes sociales de la ReMBE para compartirles los últimos resultados de nuestra investigación sobre la caracterización de la historia evolutiva de la megafauna extinta de la Cuenca de México a partir de datos paleogenómicos. Aquí abajo los enlaces 👇:

Tomorrow at Evolution 2025 I would be presenting my poster about Mitonuclear incompatibilities between two swordtails species! This is a work I been working on for my bachelor thesis project tutored by @mollyschumer.bsky.social Come to Poster A4 to learn more about it!

We finally have a face!

Save the date, follow ICP2026, update your ABBA playlist, and come join us in Stockholm next year! This is going to be fun!

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!

Nos vemos hoy a las 12pm mediante las redes sociales del Colegio Nacional para hablar de "Paleogenómica y de cómo puede ayudarnos a investigar nuestro pasado". tinyurl.com/mr3vwuzt. Presentaré brevemente algunas de las líneas de investigación nuestro grupo lleva a cabo en @liigh-unam.bsky.social.

#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...

#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...

Thrilled to share my 1st PhD's 1st publication at @liigh-unam.bsky.social. Anecdotally it is also my 1st paper as corresponding author from my group / the "Paloegenomics and Evolutionary Biology". shorturl.at/VumOq Let us know what you think about it.

Interested in a project in the intersection of ancient DNA and Deep Learning for characterizing genetic variation? Do send a DM. Thank your for your RT!

Was that a blank shot, Skynet?

The Paleogenomics and Evolutionary Biology group at @LIIGH_UNAM, which I have the pleasure of leading, has a strong presence in #SMBE2024. Tomorrow July 9th we will have poster presentations related to megafauna projects by:
