1/6 Just out in @Nature ! 🌽 The history of farming in the southern Andes. In a collaboration between archaeologists, geneticists and Huarpe Indigenous communities, we investigate its origins and consequences in the Uspallata Valley. Read: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Local agricultural transition, crisis and migration in the Southern Andes - Nature

In the Uspallata Valley, agriculture was adopted by local populations, as evidenced by genetic continuity from earlier hunter-gatherers to farmers; maize-dependent groups from the same regional p...

Check out our new paper! We studied reference bias in ancient genomes and proposed bamRefine, a new algorithm for PMD-correction. We showed that graph alignment + bamRefine is the most practical solution to mitigate bias, and we urge the community to publish raw data! doi.org/10.1186/s130...

Pre-processing of paleogenomes: mitigating reference bias and postmortem damage in ancient genome data - Genome Biology

We investigate alternative strategies against reference bias and postmortem damage in low coverage paleogenomes. Compared to alignment to the linear reference genome, we show that masking known polymo...
