Abstract. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis has transformed how we study human migration, species dispersals and environmental change, but poor preservation rema

In the Uspallata Valley, agriculture was adopted by local populations, as evidenced by genetic continuity from earlier hunter-gatherers to farmers; maize-dependent groups from the same regional p...

Yang et al. study Denisovan ancestry in ancient and present-day humans. In contrast to other East Asians, genomic comparisons suggest that the Jomon derived most of their ancestry from a deep lineage ...

Paleogenomic studies suggest that Mammuthus columbi derives from an ancient hybridization between Mammuthus primigenius and Mammuthus trogontherii. While its habitat spanned from North to Central Amer...

A new study reveals the significance of regional dispersals and local interactions in coastal Papua New Guinea

A PhD fellowship in Evolutionary Biology is being posted in the research team lead by Assistant Prof Jazmín Ramos Madrigal commencing 1 July 2025 or as soon as

Carboxypeptidase is a Zn-dependent protease that specifically recognises and hydrolyses peptides with a hydrophobic side chain at the C-terminal residue. According to hydrolysis mechanisms proposed in...

Gene flow from Neanderthals has shaped genetic and phenotypic variation in modern humans. We generated a catalog of Neanderthal ancestry segments in more than 300 genomes spanning the past 50,000 year...
