Another great research talk today (online version this time!) from Martin Sikora on #ancient human #pathogens - from #plague to #pandemics and #zoonosis. Did lifestyle shifts shape #disease #burden over time? Seems like it!
Thanks for joining us! #AncientDNA

Alex Brown @blackochreomics.bsky.social from the @thekidsau.bsky.social gave a great talk on #indigenous #genomics and how to address health #inequality in these communities!
Thanks for joining us!

This is a physical course but an online version will be available for those who can’t attend. We especially encourage students from African institutions to join online as this is offered as part of the African BioGenome Project Open Institute East&Central Africa Regional Workshop

We sequenced and analyzed the world's rarest large mammal, the #saola 🦄. That turned into a cool paper substantially increasing what we know about this elusive animal, its evolutionary history, population structure, and long-term decline.

The Greenlandic population offers significant potential for precision medicine. The largest analysis of its kind is now in @Nature. A big thank you to all participants in the health surveys throughout the last 25 years 🙏 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵1/6

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.
