jobs.ac.uk changed the link for some reason -- it's this one now -- jobs.ac.uk/job/CSG467/resear… will let you know if they change it again!

Great work from Maria Derakhshan identifying CpGs with high interindividual methylation variation in multiple tissues and ethnicities, with evidence their methylation marks are established in the early embryo -- congrats Maria (& Matt Silver)! academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Great new work by @JavierMenRev on disentangling pre and post-admixture selection signals in Latin Americans using a new method; see our preprint -- thanks to all contributors!
Our latest work together with @g_hellenthal on detecting adaptive signals before and after European contact in admixed Latin Americans is out on @biorxivprepring 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great thread explaining our latest pre-print on disentangling pre and post-colonisation signatures of natural selection in Latin Americans, led by @JavierMenRev and @g_hellenthal. #CANDELA

For those into fast haplotype-based admixture detection/dating, fastGLOBEROTTER out now (thanks Pongsakorn & Matthew!): ~4-20x faster than GLOBETROTTER. Possibly 2 fast & furious. Next up: GLOBETROTTER in outer space biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Our paper “Inferring Population Histories for Ancient Genomes Using Genome-Wide Genealogies” is now published! This is our go at harnessing the amazing collection of ancient genomes available. Our approach reproduces many findings & makes new discoveries! doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msab1…
