Small Bugs, Big Data: Metagenomics for Arthropod Biodiversity Monitoring
We used metagenomic sequencing of 40 bulk arthropod samples collected across Sweden to classify taxa and compare results with metabarcoding from the same samples. While metabarcoding was more sensiti...

🧵 Exciting news from our lab #CpgSthlm! 🥳

Thousands of years ago, mammoths roamed, and so did their fascinating microbial companions. Our latest study, published in 𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘭, brings them to light 🦣🦠🧬

Incase you missed it - our recent paper in @pnas.org on Norwegian lemming genomics!
pnas.org
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences @pnas.org · Jul 24
Genetic sequencing dates the split between Siberian and Norwegian lemmings at around 35,000 years ago, shortly before the Last Glacial Maximum—making Norwegian lemmings among the planet’s youngest mammal species. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We also identified mutations that might be associated with the Norwegian lemming's coat colour and overwintering behaviour. Finally, given the deep divergence between the Western and Eastern Siberian lemmings, we suggest that Eastern Siberian lemmings should be regarded as Lemmus paulus.

Using modern and ancient genomes, we show that the Norwegian lemming diverged very recently - only around 34 thousand years ago! Following this divergence, we didn't find any signal of gene flow between the Norwegian lemming and its closest relative, the Western Siberian lemming.
