We publish today the first ancient whole-genome sequences from Arabia and show how they inform on ancestry and disease in the Middle East 🧬☠️ #aDNA #MiddleEast #Bahrain https://t.co/HjZQnMW1a1

Thrilled to share our study sequencing genetic data from tropical mammoths 🏝️🦣. First DNA recovered from Columbian mammoths southern than USA https://t.co/sIGSyuTP65. Thanks to all collaborators, you were key to this success! Below a fantastic note covering the paper 👇

Large pedigrees are all the rage in ancient dna these days but thus far they’ve been manually reconstructed. @edwardhuangc from my group built an automated reconstruction tool, please try it out!

Analysis of fats and oils on pottery has suggested that Bronze Age communities in eastern Arabia consumed more plants than indicated by the archaeological record.

Our genomics experts have worked with partners from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to uncover how human populations adapted, survived, and diversified in the Himalayas - one of the most extreme and challenging environments on Earth https://t.co/3inSrtr1SM

Our new paper on genetic diversity in the Himalayas, when it began and how it may have supported survival in extreme environments

Our new paper on ancient DNA to address the spread of Uralic languages now out in @nature (we started working on this in 2018). Many interesting results, including a sample from ~16k years ago Yakutia that can be modeled as an unadmixed Native American.

"We added previously published sequences for 20 indivdiuals [sic] confidently classified as Phoenician or Punic (7 from 2 Sardinian sites, 1 from Ibiza and 12 from Beirut)"
But 2 of those in Beirut were an Egyptian mom and her admixed son

Punic people were genetically diverse with almost no Levantine ancestors

Our papers, out today in @nature, show how ancient DNA from the Eneolithic and Bronze Age steppe points to a North Pontic origin of the Indo-European language family and a Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) origin of Indo-Anatolian (inclusive of the now extinct Anatolian languages). 1/
