Our paper published today @nature describes an ancient epidemic that occurred in central Eurasia in the years 1338-1339. We find that the epidemic was caused by plague (Y. pestis) and that it was associated with the beginnings of the Black Death. https://t.co/nWzObniTT3

Finally out! https://t.co/ndDiaMRzBY. @jnovembre, @mattstoneback, and I created a tool to screen low coverage human ancient DNA for runs of homozygosity (ROH), the genomic signs of parental relatedness.

We analyzed 1,785 humans who lived up to 40 ky ago. Here is what we found:

Some pictures from Xiaohe cemetery, really impressive!

[Jin Xu 徐津 @xujnx]

Mummy from a Bronze Age cemetery at Xiaohe, Xinjiang(1500BC). By DNA test, archaeologists find the Xiaohe people had a mixed ancestry of South Siberians and West Europeans. Yet perhaps she should be left alone in her snug boat coffin, instead of being displayed in a glass case.
