@vagheesh Thanks for the recommendation. Never looked at the supplement. On my reading list now.

I'm thrilled that our new article was published today in @AJHGNews. It was an excellent collaboration with @cschlebu, Yoro Diallo, Vaclav Janousek, and Viktor Cerny.

Here is a nice News piece (https://t.co/UIk0OnnPZW) by @spoke32 about the work, with a quote from @JoGretzing. 6/6

Fascinating study came out two weeks ago by @_larsporsena and Colleagues on a South British Iron Age burial site with an extraordinary matrilocal relatedness pattern (https://t.co/2z8DZsldbk)... 1/6

What I get from this is that we should all be more data-mining of published data. There are still hidden gems in there, and as the data is growing faster than people can analyze, the rate of unpublished gems may be growing! 5/6

Excellent book review on "The trouble with ancient DNA" by my colleague @KathrinNaegele: https://t.co/7hvJyX1OGt

Nice article in National Geographics (in German) on our findings of dynastic relationships among Celtic elite burials, featuring Angela Mötsch from my group: https://t.co/HYqXoRG1Zt

Our work, which shows statistical issues with the previous claim of a severe ancient bottleneck in the ancestry of African populations, has been selected as a Featured article in @GeneticsGSA

"Ancient DNA reveals family ties" is named on of the top 10 Science Break-throughs in 2024 by Science (https://t.co/Bmwi3e1iWk). Our work on early Celtic princely burials and their discovered close kinship gets mentioned, too!
