@CesarFortesLima thanks Cesar!

In our lastest paper in close collab with Wibhu/Dan/Mark, we have traced the genetic origin of modern Austroasiatic speakers of MSEA to ancient ones, and identified key genetic diversifications among populations associated to various AA language branches!

Our study titled "Ancient genomes from the Yellow River Bend reveal long-distance population interactions between the Central Plains, Steppe, and southern China" has been released officially online at @CellReports on July 22! A joint work based aDNA lab at Fudan University!

[Ke Wang @kwangwangk]

We release new aDNA data of 23 individuals dating to the 4th–2nd millennia BP in the Yellow River Bend and find a significant prevalence of Yangshao-related genetic ancestry in this region and reveal an unexpected long-distance contact with the Mongolian Steppe and southern China

New @HistoGenes study from my group at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. Led by @kwangwangk, Bendeguz Tobias and Doris Pany-Kucera: interdisciplinarity in action! Thanks to all coauthors for inspiring collaboration!

Our latest interdisciplinary study reveals the story of East Asia meeting Europe in Lower Austria during 6th-9th centuries & their Peaceful coexistence (shared cultural feature) despite genetic difference! We reconstruct the past family pedigree inc. >450 individuals (a society!)

We think the mutation spectrum is evolving b/c it tends to cluster by population and species. Now in a study led by Annabel Beichman, we measure the mutation spectrum’s phylogenetic signal across 100 million years of mammalian evolution

Officially out, our work trying to delineate and understand selection happening during admixture in Neolithic Europe. We find that admixed Neolithic populations inherit more hunter-gatherer ancestry at the MHC region than expected by chance.

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)

We find 4000y.o. mummified hair from Sudan i) preserves ultra-short ancient DNA fragments with high interior aDNA damage, and ii) is genetically close to early eastern African pastoralists. Looking forward to seeing more hair aDNA & African aDNA.❤️Africa

Congratulations, Svante!

[Zuzana Hofmanova @dewawer]

So happy that the first paper from our @HistoGenes project is up! We find striking similarity of elite Avar genomic data to Northeast Asia: the historical mystery of Avar origin may be less mysterious now. Great work of Guido from our lab and many others! https://t.co/1DjYuMcVAj
