In a new paper led by Jiaqi Yang we trace the distribution of Denisovan introgressed DNA in ancient modern human genomes over time.

An early East Asian lineage with unexpectedly low Denisovan ancestry
Yang et al. study Denisovan ancestry in ancient and present-day humans. In contrast
to other East Asians, genomic comparisons suggest that the Jomon derived most of their
ancestry from a deep lineage ...

Excited to share our manuscript version of our publication on NIHMS: “Neandertal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ancient and present-day humans” published in @science.org. Here for everyone to read: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Neandertal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ancient and present-day humans
Gene flow from Neandertals has shaped the genetic and phenotypic variation in modern humans. We generate a catalog of Neandertal ancestry segments in more than 300 genomes spanning the last 50,000 yea...

Very excited to be part of two manuscripts which are now on biorxiv!
arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156

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.

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!

Check out this great video from @stefanmilo.bsky.social discussing recent finding on the date of Neanderthal introgression and what one might learn from this about the human migration out of Africa (feat. @arevsumer.bsky.social and me).

Out today in @sciencemagazine, we've journeyed into our shared history with Neandertals by analyzing over 300 present-day and ancient modern humans, including 59 individuals who lived between 2,000 and 45,000 years ago.
