A warm congratulation from Stockholm Cris.

There are different extraction and lib methods for aDNA out there. It is good with a little bit of data on them. Dabney extractions remain our choice, BEST libs are not so bad, and WGC has its use: future-science.com/doi/10.2144/bt… #aDNA #cpgSTHLM

What can you do with three days and a few hours in Turkey. I would suggest working on an archaeogenetic ms, and a a forensic application. And also to use the last hours for an ultra trail in Ephesus. #aDNA #archaeogenetics #ephesusultra

Idag är det 165 år sedan Svante Arrhenius föddes. Han var professor & rektor vid Stockholms högskola. Blev förste svenske nobelpristagare med Nobelpris i kemi 1903. Han var en av de första att förutsäga globala uppvärmningen #Klimat Se bildspel & läs mer su.se/om-universitet…

Vi har nått till vägs ände med biskop Winstrup (1605-1679), fostret i kistan är hans dotterson, Anna Marias son. Men det var ett riktigt detektivarbete att ta sig dit: sydsvenskan.se/2024-02-04/mum… #aDNA #cpgSTHLM #Lund

Our new preprint in collaboration with Luigi Borruso 🔬🧬🌍 and Anna Sandionigi on detecting interesting traces of ancient fungal DNA in the gut of Tyrolean Iceman (Ötzi)

In 2012 a fetus was found in bishop Peder Winstrup’s (1605–1679) coffin in Lund. Detective work and archaeogenetics have now shown that the fetus was (or would have been) Peder’s grandson and Ana Marias son: mdpi.com/2571-9408/7/2/… #aDNA #cpgSTHLM

Öring, hasselnötter och hjortkött stod på menyn bland jägare och samlare i Norden för 10 000 år sedan. Det visar dna-analyser av kåda som ungdomarna på Västkusten tuggat på. Anders Götherström Stockholms universitet

Löt ring-fortress on northeastern Öland. Likely a migration period (500ACE) structure. Only some few m2 (<5) were excavated in the 80ies, yielding human remains and a bronze-buckle. I hope it will soon be further excavated. #aDNA #archaeology #cpgSTHLM #Öland

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has summarized the research status on humans, their evolution, and prehistoric demography. It is a nice, short, and informative text (in Swedish): ancientdnablog.wordpress.com/2023/12/20/the… #KVA #aDNA #cpgSTHLM

CPG is collaborating with the National Board of Forensic Medicine to explore what laboratory methods are most efficient with degraded forensic material: ancientdnablog.wordpress.com/2023/12/14/anc… #cgpSTHLM #aDNA

About a year remains of the EU funded project Neomatrix, where we focus on the Neolithisation. Here is a very short and subjective description of todays Neomatrix seminar on Anatolian stone age sites. ancientdnablog.wordpress.com/2023/11/22/neo… #Neomatrix #aDNA #cpgSTHLM

How do you do population genomics in a species without genetic variation?
