It's that time again... AaRCTikTalk this Friday!! Anne Runge will talk about microbial/pathogen DNA from prehistoric faunal remains🦠🦴🧬, & Anna Nagel will explore multispecies time calibrations! 🧬🕰️ Hurray! Don't miss it! 🕺 @aarc-community.bsky.social

I opened a gate for Stephen Hawking to roll into Sheeps Green in Cambridge, where cattle graze. Unfortunately there was then a cow standing on the path and it wouldn't move, so Stephen had to turn around.

We had a great time yesterday Boarding the AaRC at #ISBA11! Thanks everybody for coming to our first in-person event!

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Don't miss the AaRC pre-ISBA event on the 26th of August - anyone interested in ancient DNA in animals is welcome to come along.

And if you didn't get a talk at ISBA itself, submit an abstract here!

Seeking a few Postdoctoral Researchers at Mathematical Genomics RIKEN ECL Research Unit (25-695)

Postdoc position in my group in Tokyo!
Please get in touch if you are interested.

And happy to discuss projects - these would range from developing new methods to analysis of new genomes that we are now sequencing in the lab.

Wow! Can you get a DNA sample please? 😀

Ancient DNA data hold insights into past organisms and ecosystems — handle them with more care DNA recovered from ancient remains is transforming our understanding of organisms and ecosystems from tens, thousands and even millions of years ago – but the growing volume of data must be better pre...

In this comment piece with James Fellows Yates and Christina Warinner (@christinawarinner.bsky.social), we highlight the mounting problems with data archiving and metadata reporting in ancient DNA research. The field cannot afford to keep neglecting this issue.
