🧵 New preprint:
Have you ever tried to perform molecular clock dating of ancient mitogenomes using BEAST? Have you struggled using manual tools to create your input files, run your analyses and extract your results?
We hope our pipeline provides a solution to this:

MitoDate: a Nextflow pipeline for molecular clock dating and phylogenetic inference using ancient mitogenomes
Summary Ancient DNA studies are increasingly targeting samples that are beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating (>50 thousand years old) and are often difficult or impossible to date using other geochr...
