All started in 2014 when the most visionary palaeogenomicist Tom Gilbert wrote an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant @Globe_UCPH to fund exploratory experiments into trying to retrieve long DNA fragments from extinct sp. to assemble for the 1st time ancient genomes 🧬 👏 👏 to him

Feeling like my first tweet ever should be a proud one! I'm super excited to share our preprint "The genetic origins of Saint Helena's liberated Africans". biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The genetic origins of Saint Helena’s liberated Africans

Between the early 16th and late 19th centuries, an estimated 12 million Africans were transported to the Americas as part of the transatlantic slave trade. Following Britain’s abolition of slave...
