Discover our results of the largest ancient DNA study ever conducted on a single burial site: 400 skeletons from the Belgian city Sint-Truiden (8th–18th century). A unique glimpse into 1000 years of genetic history. (1/9) @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social

We proudly present UYSD:
a new open-access repository with global Y-SNP haplogroup frequencies.
A valuable resource for forensic genetics, genetic genealogy, population studies, and more.

🎬 Aanrader: gratis documentaire ‘Vermist en Gevonden’ ging gisteren in première in @StadIeper!
Leerlingen uit het secundair onderwijs onderzoeken het lot van vermiste WOI-soldaten.
Ik praat met hen over DNA-identificatie en ethische kwesties.

Apparently I have an "oddly specific scientific obsession"... guilty as charged 😅
Thanks #TILscience for the nice video on our research @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/1hrr2...

I'm on the @science.org podcast this week with @maartenlarmuseau.bsky.social & @bscelza.bsky.social talking about genetic genealogy, cuckoldry and extra-pair paternity: www.science.org/content/podc... (Starting around 15:00)

Honoured to see an article about my research on extra-pair paternity in @science.org. Many thanks to journalist @spoke32.bsky.social for the story and to all colleagues for their quotes!
Hopefully, future visitors to my office will be less surprised by a (reproduction) 17th-century painting...

Geneticist @maartenlarmuseau.bsky.social tackles a touchy question: How often are children genetically unrelated to their presumed fathers?

Looking forward to my keynote talk 'Mommy's baby, daddy's mayby' at the (online) genetic genealogical symposium! Booking is now open 👇 www.strath.ac.uk/studywithus/...

Dit weekend is het groot feest in Leuven voor de 600ste verjaardag van onze alma mater KU Leuven! 🎉🍾
Zoveel te beleven maar je kan starten met mijn 600 sec lezing over 'Het DNA-verhaal van Vlaanderen'. 🧬
Iedereen welkom om 10u in de promotiezaal, Naamsestraat 22 www.kuleuven.be/600jaar/prog...

Important critique by individuals who personally discovered their #misattributed #paternity.
Their analysis exposes ethical and clinical shortcomings in current medical guidelines. The discussion on transparency needs to be reassessed.

2 fouten in 1 quote bij vrtnws🫣: "Ze hebben enerzijds het mitochondriaal DNA bestudeerd. Dat is DNA dat zich op de celwand bevindt en enkel via moeder op dochter wordt doorgegeven".
Het bevindt in mitochondriën en niet in celwand, en het is via moeder op kind (ook zoon).

Ancient DNA reveals fascinating patterns in Iron Age Britain🧬Genomes from Durotriges tribe uncovers a matrilocal pattern, previously undescribed in European prehistory. Dominant maternal lines shaped southern Britain's genetic landscape.⚡ #AncientDNA #IronAge www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Leuk artikel van @maartenlarmuseau.bsky.social in de standaard vandaag! Ik had nog niet op dat verschil gelet. m.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241...
