Our Funders – Centre for Palaeogenetics

A while ago, we issued new #COVID19 guidelines to the staff at #CpgSthlm:

"Only come into work if you can travel to and from the Centre for Palaeogenetics with minimal risk of infection".

PhD students: Oookaaaay...

Our researchers at #CPGSthlm are extremely careful with contamination. As demonstrated by @MaDehasque when casually commuting to the office this morning.

It is finally out. A complex demographic history in northeastern Asia, and some Y. pestis to go with it (actually the most eastern to date): https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/2/eabc4587 #archaeogenetics #aDNA #CPGsthlm

What is the link between the world’s oldest mammoth DNA and Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo)?

When we wrote the paper, with @bonesandbugs & others, this is NOT one of the questions we considered!

But Saturday Night Live (#SNL @nbcsnl) has the answer!

Twitter, we need your help!

Where should we focus our efforts next?

1) Sequence more DNA to find out if this 18,000 year old puppy is a wolf or dog?

2) Or try to break the record for “oldest DNA” (see link)?

- RT for Dogor🐶

- Like for “older DNA”🦣

It's unfortunate for the Popular Science Writer's Community that @PatriciaChrzan is an even better scientist than she is at writing popular science.

If you are gonna read one simple, funny and beautifully written account of how it is to work on ancient DNA, read this one ⬇️⬇️⬇️
