It’s finally out!! 🥳 Our paper on the recovery of ancient chromosomes and 3D genome structure of a 52,000 year-old woolly mammoth just got published by @CellCellPress 🦣🧊

@GN_Carreteras saben que está pasando en la carretera Queretaro-CDMX, a la altura de Palo Alto? Gracias!!

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@morestrada @LatinGenomes @LatinCells Awwww huge congrats! Si suena como un gran día! PD. Yo quiero un cachorriteeeee! 🥹❤️

All started in 2014 when the most visionary palaeogenomicist Tom Gilbert wrote an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant @Globe_UCPH to fund exploratory experiments into trying to retrieve long DNA fragments from extinct sp. to assemble for the 1st time ancient genomes 🧬 👏 👏 to him

In this 9-year long project, we=@jrotwitguez @cynthi_PE @odudcha the-truly-extraordinary-but-not-on-twitter-TomGilbert @erezaterez and @mamartirenom together with 49collaborators- found (non-mineralized) fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin and assemble the 🦣 genome🧬 !!!

On my way to the last day of #SMBE2024 🥹 - looking forward to listening to talks about pangenomes, metagenomics, population genetics, epigenetic switches and the closing keynote by Scott Edwards! 🥳

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@LuciaMoralesR shared her amazing research about interspecific hybridizations of saccharomyces associated to agave fermentation! 🤩 @LIIGH_UNAM #SMBE2024

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@MaxolotlMad gave a great talk about her PhD project on new approaches for the visualization of human diversity #SMBE2024 @ccg_unam

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

Starting with the first day and one of the first talks by Barbara Sousa from @AnnaSapfo’s group about ancient Rapanui genomes! 🗿

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

Resuscitating this account as #FOMO is running deep this #SMBE2024 where everyone is posting and sharing the #amazingscience being shared at the conference! Here some of my personal highlights of the last few days!

A thread about our woolly mammoth genomes published yesterday!

Back in 2015, I found myself celebrating my 40th birthday in the Siberian wilderness.

What I didn’t know was that my colleagues had hidden a birthday present for me 👀

@SNIconacyt Yo sigo esperando @SNIconacyt

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@GN_Carreteras @GN_Carreteras pueden dar actualizaciones al respecto? Ya se está atendiendo el accidente? Cuando se restablece la circulación? Gracias!

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@mute3mch @alex77anaya @CAPUFE @GN_MEXICO_ @CAPUFE @GN_MEXICO_ pueden confirmar que la carretera Queretaro-Mexico ya se desbloqueo?

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@GN_Carreteras Buenos días. ¿Está ya abierta y funcionando la carretera Morelia-Ixtapa? ¿Podrían compartir la última actualización? Muchas gracias.

@BValderramaB Gracias por el thread Brenda! Fatal todo... Ampliaron el plazo para la votación pero ¿¡ya no funciona la página?!

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@AliciaMstt Completamente de acuerdo. Yo estoy traumatizada :( Aunque disfruté mucho de tu seminario y te quería preguntar si lo grabaron? Me gustaría compartirlo a unos colegas que se beneficiarían mucho de escucharlo. P.D. Petición firmada!

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@drsarahabel @BritishAcademy_ @CLAS_Cam @MECCambridge ¡Felicidades! Estoy muy feliz por ti!

[Marcela Sandoval-Velasco @marce_save]

@paleogenomics Thanks for all your help and support through the years!
