Our genetic kinship estimation tool using deep learning is just out:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Our models trained on simulated data work effectively on real data from diverse backgrounds and often better than available tools. Congratulations @meerf.bsky.social and team!

DeepKin: Predicting Relatedness From Low‐Coverage Genomes and Palaeogenomes With Convolutional Neural Networks
DeepKin is a novel tool designed to predict relatedness from genomic data using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Traditional methods for estimating relatedness often struggle when genomic data i...

I just presented my poster at #ESEB2025 on human oral microbiome dynamics! Sadly, I forgot to take the classic photo in front of the poster :)
If you’re working on related topics or have questions/suggestions, I’d love to connect.

I will be presenting my poster: “The Population Genetic History of the Hittite Capital Hattusa” at #ESEB2025
📍Poster #273
If you’re around, please come by, ask questions or have a chat, and let’s talk ancient DNA & population genetics!

🌾 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.

🧬In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, family was built on social relations rather than blood ties.
Genetic analysis shows that over time, co-residents were no longer genetic relatives. Female subadults were buried with 5x more grave goods.
🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.

Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean
West Anatolia has been a crucial yet elusive element in the Neolithic expansion from the Fertile Crescent to Europe. In this work, we describe the changing genetic and cultural landscapes of early Hol...
