Announcing SimHumanity, a baseline SLiM 5.0 model of the full human genome, replete with demographic history, autosomes, X/Y, and mtDNA. A shared starting point for reproducible evolutionary simulations. We’d love your feedback! #SLiM #evolution #genomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are you interested in doing a PhD in Copenhagen? Interested in studying Neanderthals and Denisovans which live on in our genomes?
Than you are more than welcome to apply to join my group starting Jan 2026 :)

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Happy to share a PhD opportunity in my new lab at the University of Zurich! Application deadline: June 30. Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions!

We ( @zeniabaek.bsky.social @moicoll.bsky.social and @asgerhobolth.bsky.social ) present a new cool way to visualize the optimal trade off for hmm decoding called Artemis plots!

Very excited to be part of two manuscripts which are now on biorxiv!

Archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans are extinct but their DNA lives on in many humans today because our ancestors met and had children with them.

Incredibly proud that our paper on the #palaeoproteomics analysis of the Penghu mandible, led by @tsutatsuta.bsky.social and in collaboration with Chun-Hsiang Chang, Enrico Cappellini and co, is out now in
@science.org! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Two weeks left to apply (Jan 15) for postdoc (2.5 years) in population genetics of the Paleolithic in my group in Aarhus, Denmark. It is an interdisciplinary project with Felix Riede @felixthehauskat.bsky.social, and a new postdoc in his group covering archaeology. Apply using tinyurl.com/4jt4dru4

📣 Two ERC-funded positions are available in the lab! If you are interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying mutation, we’d love to hear from you.

PhD: shorturl.at/Oc04N
Postdoc: shorturl.at/1ShHB

RPs and shares would be greatly appreciated!

Another early Christmas present in the form of another cool study! Sümer et al takes us back to life in Europe 45,000 years ago.‬ Lots of cool stories - one of them being the fact an individual (at Ranis) were related to an individual at another site (Zlatý kůň) 230 km away - Small world!

This is a really cool study that provides a glimpse into a distant past when humans and Neanderthal lived side by side for thousands of years. Hats off to the two first authors @leonardoiasi.bsky.social and @mchintalapati.bsky.social!

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :)

Wonderful to see so many new people here! :-)

Interested in sedaDNA, aDNA, or forensic genetics?
Join me in Copenhagen!
I'm hiring a PhD and a Postdoc to start in 2025. Application deadline 28 November
