we made a tool!
ybyra is a lightweight, flexible Y-chromosome haplogroup caller. It is faster, easier to tune and more robust than other tools particularly for low-coverage or ancient DNA data. And it has lots of detailed output – including plots!

Delighted to see our paper on the evolutionary history of the CCR5Δ32 deletion published this week in @cellpress.bsky.social. Work led by @ravnkirstine.bsky.social, Leonardo Cobuccio and Rasa Muktupavela, and co-supervised by me and @simorasmu.bsky.social. See 🧵 for main findings...

Ancient and present-day genomes from members of the Indigenous American tribe Picuris Pueblo in the US Southwest show genetic continuity with Ancestral Pueblo individuals from the Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

Excited to share our study on and with Picuris Pueblo! It’s a true honor to have worked alongside the community. Combining oral history and genomics, we show a long-standing continuity in the US Southwest and challenge ideas of pre-Columbian population collapse.
