First time in an ancient DNA lab, guest of Andrew Clarke at Nottingham. Extracting DNA from an endangered bird, twite or Linaria flavirostris, as part of a side project for Natural England. One of the unexpected pleasures was leaving my phone outside the lab #aDNA #genics #twite

Last year the Time Team and friends excavated a double burial in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Cherington. This was a follow on from a previous dig where, on the last day of course, they found the sword the young boy was holding.

ADNA analysis has shown that the young boy and teen girl buried together were siblings, and the excavation shows they were likely buried at the same time.

To be fair, until further finds #aDNA 🏺🧬 was our best chance here for lack of comparison - afaik this is the first and only #Denisovan skull we got. So far.

The dragon's out of the bag:

#aDNA gives 146,000 y/o unusual sized and shaped skull of #HomoLongi (a.k.a. #DragonMan), originally found in 1933 in #China and rediscovered in 2018, away as actually: #Denisovan!

🎶 📣 - Our #HAAMsummerschool is happening again!

Interested in #OpenScience & the state of #DataArchiving in ancient #genomics research (maybe a bit niche, but still 😉)?

My colleagues Anders Bergström, Tina Warinner, & I, all working in #aDNA have published an invited commentary piece describing the challenges in both sequencing data & #metadata archiving. We propose some solutions (some active!) to improve adherence to #FAIR in #palaeogenomics. We hope some may be a model for the wider #ArchaeologicalSciences field.

A new study led by #ClusterROOTS members Ben Krause-Kyora and Almut Nebel shows that the Neolithic plague bacterium did not cause mass mortality. It also shows possible infection paths of #Yersiniapestis 5000 years ago. The study has been published recently in @Nature's #communicationsbiology

My first blog post as a #Nextflow ambassador is now live!

I summarise my experience of co-taught at the '‘Hands-on bioinformatics for ancient environmental DNA" at the ACAD, University of Adelaide in 🇦🇺. I focussed on why Nextflow and in particular which best-practise nf-core pipelines are suitable for ancient #metagenomics #eDNA research!

I have frequently heard about the left coiling Cepaea of the Bundoran, Ireland, today I found their shells - many - at the NHM, London 😊. Suspect they were collected to extinction - know anyone willing to take a lookto check?!! #aDNA #snails #cepaea #ireland

New #research: Can we trace development stages and ecology of a #permafrost thaw lake throughout the Holocene? Using an innovative combination of sedimentary proxies (ancient #DNA, #diatoms, #XRF), @Iza_bai et al. show: Yes, we can!

Long-term evolution of Central #Yakutia's vital #alaas #thermokarst lakes is traced throughout past millennia. This may help understand future pathways of culturally important lake systems!

#Introductions

I'm a #DentalAnthropologist and #bioarchaeologist who studies early life stress in relation to later life 'health'. I look at microscopic dental indicators of growth disruption and skeletal indicators of morbidity and mortality currently in #medieval populations. I enjoy collaborating on #aDNA and #proteomic approaches for improved understanding of #disease and #palaeodemography in the populations I study.

In my spare time, I like to read, walk, and spend time with my dog.

And we're almost live at the 6th annual Archaeology & Science Day hosted at the GLOBE Institute @ University of Copenhagen!
