Our wolf paper is out! https://t.co/y3KQnxRlYz Analysing 72 ancient 🐺 genomes from the last 100,000 years, we: #1 chart wolf natural history through the Ice Age, #2 directly detect natural selection, #3 reveal that dogs have dual ancestry. A 🧵 (11), illustrations by @jessrpeto

Today we held a physically distanced workshop for our MSc students on how to sample bone for DNA! #Archaeology #ancientDNA @UoAGeosciences @UoA_Archaeology

[UoA_Ancient_Biomols @biomols]

Great opportunity if you are interested in pursuing a PhD

[Pontus Skoglund @pontus_skoglund]

One more day for students interested in ancient genomics or ancient proteomics and the human past to apply to the Crick PhD program.

Ancient dog DNA galore!

[Pontus Skoglund @pontus_skoglund]

In this ancient dog DNA study by Anders Bergström et al., we show that already 11,000 years ago there were ≥5 different dog groups across the world. https://t.co/paSxpe6Eny

We then trace the history written in dog & human DNA together, through the Holocene to global dogs today.

My wife has suggested I use the lockdown to film myself doing a reading from The Missing Lynx because, and I quote, "you have a nice speaking voice". Any interest? My accent is an unplaceable Highland burr that generally gets mistaken for Canadian/Welsh/Irish/Aussie.
