The Animal #aDNA Research Community is looking for new members to its steering committee!

If you are an ECR and interested in the field, we would love to have you on board. We particularly would value committee representation from outside of Europe.

Yesterday I had the honor of present what @aarc-community.bsky.social has been doing for the last year and a half at #ISBA11, and I can tell you, we have been busy! It was a blast to see all the other affiliate groups and how we all have grown from and since ISBA10 in Tartu.

Trying to catch up with more studied domestic animals 🐄🐕🐐🐎 and exploring cutting-edge tools, I was excited to present the first imputation tests in ancient & modern cat genomes 🐈 at the first in-person AaRC meeting in Turin.

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution!

We also had some nice discussions on our round table, and we would like to extend some of those here. So let’s start with this one: how do you deal with the conflicts and the intersections between #aDNA and archaeology? #ISBA11 🧪🏺🧬
We had a great time yesterday Boarding the AaRC at #ISBA11! Thanks everybody for coming to our first in-person event!
