Neanderthal Genes In Humans May Have Entered DNA Through Interbreeding About 47,000 Years Ago, Study Says | Nature World News natureworldnews.com/articles/61924…

Glad to see this great preprint on Neandertal ancestry through time by Priya Moorjani Leonardo N. M. Iasi ManjushaChintalapati Benjamin Peter and collagues highlighted by Michael Price in News from Science 👇

In my latest for News from Science, I write about 'the most comprehensive picture we have to date of Neanderthal gene flow into modern human populations' (h/t Rajiv McCoy). Using 59 ancient genomes, Priya Moorjani et al posit major gene flow happened 47kya science.org/content/articl…

Happy to have played a small part in this exciting project where we dive deep into the history of Neandertal DNA that lives on in humans today! Hats off to the amazing first authors Leonardo N. M. Iasi and ManjushaChintalapati!

💯! Which is why we develop Poseidon, our humble contribution to democratization of at least human archaeogenetic data. x.com/stschiff/statu…

Finally published. In this paper we showed that despite heterozygous exonuclease deficiency of pold1 has a minor effect on the germline and somatic mutation rate. Homozygous deficiency increase mutation rate by 2 orders of magnitude and causes cancer nature.com/articles/s4143…

Just submitted my abstract to #SMBE2024 , do not forget to submit yours, deadline tomorrow March 15th! #SMBE24

Quick reminder to submit your #SMBE2024 abstracts! If you’re interested in human evolution - from archaic introgression to our entangled relationships with domesticate, commensal, wild, and pathogen species - check out “Paleogenomics and Human Evolutionary History'

Indeed this is one of the biggest genomic study on the Indians ever done.

Fascinating new study by Elise K. Laurits Skov Priya Moorjani and colleagues, using ~2,700 whole genome sequences to shed light on 50,000 years of Evolutionary History of India

Some findings 1/

Great work from Priya Moorjani and team as part of the LASI-DAD study. This is a quite unique study of older Indians and we will enrich it with more -omics. the environmental and socio-economic phenotypes collected are quite unique as well.
