museomics:
lastly, please help @alexgilardet.bsky.social help George ask Love to invest in automatic robots to help in the lab 💪

or follow the new methods and validations developed by Alex that he is explaining today in his talk!

The FIRST International Conference on Palaeogenomics will happen in Stockholm, Sweden, June 23-26, 2026!

Topics will encompass all corners of ancient DNA research, from humans to wildlife and sediments🧬🦣💀🦠

Save the dates ✅

Check the website icp2026.palaeogenomics.org and follow us for updates!

Had the opportunity to chat about @poojaswali.bsky.social's study on louse-borne relapsing fever on the French radio today 🧬🦠

Excited to announce our paper on ancient Borrelia genomes is finally out! 🦠💀We document the evolutionary history of louse-borne relapsing fever, published today in @science.org‬ with @lucyvandorp.bsky.social and @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social #aDNA 🏺🧪🧬
Main findings and paper below: 🧵⬇️

Congrats to our students @alexgilardet.bsky.social and Chenyu Jin for their successful Licentiate defense and half-time PhD seminar! 🎉

Thanks to Edana Lord, @gog1693.bsky.social @palaeopete.bsky.social @lovedalen.bsky.social @katerinad.bsky.social, Mathilde le Moullec, @museumevogen.bsky.social, Georgios Xenikoudakis, Matthew Wooller, Timothy Rowe, Michail Anisimov, @vetenskapsradet.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu @cpgsthlm.bsky.social

We also formally demonstrated that the addition of Tween in the elution buffer resulted in more complex libraries.

It represents an alternative to costly robotisation and can generate 96 extracts within a few hours of lab work!

We used a 96-column plate for downscaled aDNA extractions, compared it to routine single columns and retrieved similar screening metrics.

A high-throughput aDNA extraction method for large-scale sample screening 🦣🦬🧬
