Very impressed by how quickly this came together - Hats off to @ipatramanis.bsky.social :) Once again showing how complicated our evolutionary history can be and how challenging it can be to assign individuals to ancient groups.

Such a helpful resource! Now you can finally see which talks are happening at the same time so you can plan your conference :) #SMBE2026 Nice job @moicoll.bsky.social

Our late Neandertal paper is officially out! 💀❤️🧬 www.nature.com/articles/s41... It was years in the making, a tremendous feat spearheaded by our PhD student Alba Bossoms Mesa and co-led by @janetk.bsky.social and @benmpeter.bsky.social

Macìa et al. introduce two novel enhancements to hmmix that improve the detection of archaic fragments and the estimation of summary stats for the study of admixture events between modern and archaic humans. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag134 🖌️ Lídia Gonfaus Coll #evobio #molbio #compbio

We ( @zeniabaek.bsky.social @moicoll.bsky.social and @asgerhobolth.bsky.social ) present a new cool way to visualize the optimal trade off for hmm decoding called Artemis plots! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to be part of two manuscripts which are now on biorxiv! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans are extinct but their DNA lives on in many humans today because our ancestors met and had children with them.

Another early Christmas present in the form of another cool study! Sümer et al takes us back to life in Europe 45,000 years ago.‬ Lots of cool stories - one of them being the fact an individual (at Ranis) were related to an individual at another site (Zlatý kůň) 230 km away - Small world!

This is a really cool study that provides a glimpse into a distant past when humans and Neanderthal lived side by side for thousands of years. Hats off to the two first authors @leonardoiasi.bsky.social and @mchintalapati.bsky.social!

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...
