We have a new paper out in Mammalian Biology. We verified a specimen from the Natural History Museum London as blue #antelope by using #ancientDNA 🧬. This makes 5 DNA-validated historical specimens & likely at least 6 in total.
🚨 The preprint of AMDirT tool is online now!📢
💻 AMDirT was developed as a companion tool to the other SPAAM initiative AncientMetagenomeDir.

🦴🧬 For any #palaeogenomicists joining Mastodon about now, we've got an open list of researchers in #palaeogenomics #archaeogenetics #ancientDNA #aDNA etc. to help you re-build your 'old' networks and find new people!
To see the list and/or see instructions on how make yourself findable for other likeminded people see the following page: https://jfy133.github.io/Mastodon-Palaeogenomicists/
And @ezgi and myself will help get you verified and visible!

ICYMI: Although already adapted to live in a cold environment around 700,000 yrs ago, woolly #mammoths appear to have continued to further adapt to their environment thru-out their existence. #AncientDNA 🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣

New research into #ancientDNA is shedding light on the origin story of the Swahili people of East Africa.
The study confirms the Kilwa Chronicle, the oldest narrative told by the Swahili people themselves (and which was dismissed by colonial historians as fable)

Today's win: saw a funny meme here on mastodon challenged friends/colleagues to add an extra panel for #aDNA #palaeogenomics #ancientDNA , and @kathrinnaegele absolutely SMASHED it. Shared with her approval (she is too humble to show her 🔥 meme skills)

Analysis is based on 2,376 ancient and 503 modern individuals of western Eurasian ancestry and concludes
"natural selection has targeted host defense genes over the last 10 millennia of European history, particularly since the start of the Bronze Age, and has probably contributed to present-day disparities in infectious and inflammatory disease risk."

Fascinating!!!
“Study reveals average age at conception for men versus women over past 250,000 years”
Completely blows out of the water any assumptions I had about age of conception.

“DNA from archaeological remains show immigration to Scandinavia was exceptional during the Viking period“
As someone with some Scandinavia ancestry, I find this fascinating.

I have been fascinated by Denisovan DNA since it popped up in my results when I participated in the Genographic DNA Ancestry Project many years ago.
I have yet to figure out how this very regionally isolated type of hominin DNA ended up in my genetics, but maybe someday I will!
