Our monthly #EPIC seminars are back! 🎉
This month, Thomas Bøggild kicked things off with a fascinating talk on stopped recombination in new sex chromosomes, and @audald.bsky.social followed with great insights into recombination maps and imputation in #PopGen studies.
See you next month!

The genetic diversity of Indonesian cattle has been shaped by multiple introductions and adaptive introgression - Nature Communications
Indonesian cattle are unique due to their history of admixture involving both zebu and banteng. Here, Wang et al. identify ~3.5 million novel introgressed SNP variants and provide a genomic map of banteng introgression within and across many cattle breeds, each with unique introgression histories.

What a busy August it’s been for our group! 🌍✈️
From our Summer Course in Copenhagen to #EPIC25 in Aarhus and #ESEB25 in Barcelona. So great to see so many of our researchers sharing their work through talks and posters!
An inspiring month full of science, learning, and collaboration! 🙌✨

Had a blast presenting my postdoc projects from @popgendk.bsky.social at #ESEB2025: figuring out the conservation units of topis from Africa & the selection pressure on the introgression landscape of Indonesian admixed cattles. Thanks for those who came by & gave really useful comments!

On our second day of this year summer course we had Victor Moreno-Mayar talking about the #ancient population of #Rapa #Nui. Was the data consistent with the population #collapse proposed so far? The biological data seems to disagree!
Thanks for joining us and thanks Victor for the incredible talk!

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland - it really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + data sovreignty.
