🌾 Agriculture didn’t always spread with mobility of people.
New ancient DNA research shows that in western Anatolia, while communities stayed put, farming and village life spread through the movement of ideas and practices.

Stärkung für die Forschung am UKE: Die @dfg.de hat zwei neue Sonderforschungsbereiche zum mütterlichen Immunsystem und zu Nierenfiltern bewilligt. Diese werden in den kommenden vier Jahren mit insgesamt 29 Millionen Euro gefördert. Auch Forschende aus Lübeck, Berlin, Köln und Münster sind beteiligt.

Marmosets are diverse in morphology and diet. We study these differences through an evolutionary lens and implications for marmoset conservation and husbandry. This work took 10 years thru major world events, moving across three continents, and driving all over Brazil. Check out the pre-print!

This is a great opportunity to compare the headline they use to get you to click through to the actual substance of the article.

These aren't dire wolves. They're gene-edited "99.9% grey wolves." This isn't a scientific breakthrough, it's CRISPR editing with a marketing wing.

We just succeeded in formally linking a specific rodent species - the otherwise charming fire-footed rope squirrel - to the onset of a mpox outbreak in a primate species - sooty mangabeys. Here Kai’s report on the preprint we released yesterday 1/2
Researchers have been trying for a long time to nail down where in nature mpox lurks.
Now they appear to have caught the virus that causes mpox in the act of spilling over from squirrels to monkeys.
“It is the best clue so far for what the reservoir might be”, says @kgandersen.bsky.social

New study from the Lab! Jinyang Liang assesses the possibility of inferring ancestral alleles (aka allele polarization) without outgroup sequence, using the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) alone. Here are some of our findings. (1/5)
