📣 Paper alert!

I am delighted that our paper exploring the impact of Neanderthal-derived variants on the activity of a disease-associated craniofacial enhancer has been published in Development today!

A very nice highlight of our recent paper!
Researchers have identified gene-regulatory variants that might have contributed to Neanderthals’ beefy jaws — offering a window on how the human face developed

Differences in a specific region of the Neanderthal genetic code may have contributed to their distinctive protruding jawline, a study suggests.

The #EMBOenhanceropathies workshop was truly outstanding - such a wonderful community to be part of and exciting science from start to finish! Group photo in front of Hindsgavl Slot @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @uoe-igc.bsky.social - we had a blast! 🧬
