Denisovans adapted to cold e.g. boreal forests, even tundra, and could even have reached N+E Europe? Neas in more temperate forests & grassland? https://t.co/k77OelrgQY

I nattered with @HISTORYUK about our television series #ancientmurdersunearthed about how modern forensic analysis can help us find out more about ancient murders.
Huge fun to film & I loved learning about what the analysis could tell us!

The age of IBD in ancient DNA is nigh! https://t.co/dGvvJEMDnc
In this preprint, we describe "ancIBD", a method to detect long shared haplotypes (known as IBD segments) in human ancient DNA data, and showcase applications. 🧬💀 (1/5)

Behind the scenes at the NIFHS DNA project!
Includes a guide about how to use the Advanced Matches tool on @FamilyTreeDNA, so for our project, that means being able to see if any of our nearly 8000 DNA project members, with links to the nine counties of Ulster, also match you ✅

[FamilyTreeDNA @FamilyTreeDNA]

Stay tuned for a more detailed blog post. Do you match any of them? https://t.co/3d3BV26Uwp
