Today I officially started as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow with @welkergroup.bsky.social. I will be working on cool stuff in palaeoproteomics of hominins, mainly on bioinformatic analysis. Looking forward to the journey ahead 😌

Ready for #ISBA11 meeting. Starting with the pre-conference #PAASTA 🤩 and the welcoming. It’s already being great to connect with peers from Huerta-Sánchez lab @lindaongaro.bsky.social @marcocapo.bsky.social and more (not all in this network). And remember to visit me at my poster No.254 on Friday.

Our paper on the evolution of MUC19 in humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans is finally out today in Science! This has been a six-year effort by 13 authors to weave together 3 separate but related evolutionary stories around this one gene (more on thread 🧵). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The MUC19 gene: An evolutionary history of recurrent introgression and natural selection

We study the gene MUC19, for which some modern humans carry a Denisovan-like haplotype. MUC19 is a mucin, a glycoprotein that forms gels with various biological functions. We find diagnostic variants ...
