For my first-ever bsky post, I’m thrilled to share our latest #ancientDNA research, which I co-led with @jessthorpemas.bsky.social

OA: doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf065

We recovered and analysed mitochondrial genomes from many #mammoths spanning the last million years 🦣🧬⌛

New paper 🧵

A team co-led by #cpgsthlm 's researcher @jcchacond.bsky.social has analysed DNA from a large number of mammoths across a million-year timescale 🦣🧬

The findings include the discovery and analysis of the oldest known woolly #mammoth in North America!

🧵 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 🦣🦠🧬

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Hello everyone,

Are you interested in news about research findings, jobs, PhD positions, etc, from the Centre for Palaeogenetics?

Or do you simply want to see lots of cool photos from our work (like the 28,000 year old cave lion cub below)?

If yes, please give @cpgsthlm.bsky.social a follow!
