Ancient genomics and the origin, dispersal, and development of domestic sheep
The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are incompletely understood; to address this, we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled from across Eurasia. Ge...

Since the #aDNA community is growing here, I’m sharing a new tutorial on ancient DNA, written by marine scientists with diverse backgrounds in #genomics. We share how to integrate best 'omics principles into aDNA research 🧬🧪🦑
Next up: code tutorials for aDNA packages, watch the MarineOmics space!

New episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast!
In this episode I chatted with Dr Jessica Smith, Dr Neil Carlin, and @suegreaney.bsky.social about the important recent paper that discusses Neolithic society, kinship, death, ancient DNA, and how we understand and interpret the story of the past.

This is potentially a very big deal - hoping we see a bunch of papers with really old aDNA from Africa soon! Access to that information could answer a lot of outstanding questions about migration back to Africa, admixture with archaic humans, population structure, and much more.
Scientists show that DNA can last for up to 50,000 years in Africa — much longer than previously thought www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Researchers extracted DNA from long-dead animals that lived in South Africa during the last ice age, revealing that genetic material lasts longer in hot climates than was previously thought.

Sardine sauce anyone? The wonders of fishy aDNA:
The Romans were among the first societies to extensively exploit fish resources, salting and fermenting them in large-scale plants.
