Are the comercial databases good for aDNA? Last Friday we tried to GED match our best Kronan individual (1676AD), but it did not yield any reliable relatives. 14 generations (the distance to Kronan) is likely too much, but we will keep exploring. #aDNA #cpgSTHLM #archaeogenetics
I am quit thrilled to bring the 17th century ship Kronan, from my home town Kalmar, into the PAG conference in San Diego. Tomorrow I will present what we know about the genetics of the crew this far. #aDNA #archaeogenetics #cpgSTHLM #PAG
Tomorrow evening,the 5th of January, we publish the first genomes from Sandby borg, the Migration period fortress. What will they tell us? Were they locals? Any females? #aDNa #archaeogenetics #cpgSTHLM
Museum people (including Fedir Androshchuk, director of the National Museum in Kyiv) visiting CPG today, helping us to make sense of our Ukrainian data. This is a study we are doing together with archaeologists in Kyiv. #aDNA #cpgSTHLM #Kyiv
Congrats 🎉 to our MSc student Ellen Karlsson for successfully defending her thesis 'Genomic diversity changes in a declining bumblebee species, Bombus pascuorum'!! 🐝🧬
The PhD student, supervised by @IndianaDiez and based at @CpgSthlm & @Zoology_SU, will focus on analyzing population structure, genomic diversity, and introgression using specimens from museum collections.
🚨 TWO PhD student positions on DeepTime sedimentary #ancientDNA 🏔️🧬! 🚨
These are fully funded PhD projects aimed at investigating biodiversity turnovers throughout the last 800,000 years, based at #CpgSthlm, and supervised by @PalaeoPete
