Our genetic kinship estimation tool “DeepKin” is now available! Our neural network models trained on simulated data work effectively on real ancient data from diverse backgrounds and often outperform available tools. @compevohumang.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The mini yet mighty stapes: a comparison of ancient DNA yields among ossicles and the petrous bone The petrous bone is considered the most efficient source of endogenous DNA across skeletal tissues in ancient DNA research as well as in forensic work. Recently, ancient DNA (aDNA) in auditory ossicle...

🌾 Agriculture didn’t always spread with mobility of people.
New ancient DNA research shows that in western Anatolia, while communities stayed put, farming and village life spread through the movement of ideas and practices.

🧬In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, family was built on social relations rather than blood ties.
Genetic analysis shows that over time, co-residents were no longer genetic relatives. Female subadults were buried with 5x more grave goods.
🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.

Combining archaeology and genetics may shed light on how ideas traveled further than people in Anatolia The transition to agriculture and a sedentary lifestyle is one of the great turning points in human history.

Happy to share our new study from my PhD on the spread of farming across Anatolia and into the Aegean and then into Europe. @compevohumang.bsky.social

Pre-processing of paleogenomes: mitigating reference bias and postmortem damage in ancient genome data - Genome Biology We investigate alternative strategies against reference bias and postmortem damage in low coverage paleogenomes. Compared to alignment to the linear reference genome, we show that masking known polymo...

Check out our new paper!

We studied reference bias in ancient genomes and proposed bamRefine, a new algorithm for PMD-correction.

We showed that graph alignment + bamRefine is the most practical solution to mitigate bias, and we urge the community to publish raw data!
