@jochenwolflab.bsky.social Check out the latest paper spearheaded by @chyiyin.bsky.social. She explored different methods for target enrichment of DNA extracted from thousands of years old crow bones. Long live ancient DNA! doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Performance of Two Custom Probe Kits for In‐Solution Enrichment of Ancient Avian DNA

Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis remains challenging due to low endogenous DNA content of degraded samples. Hybridisation-based in-solution enrichment has emerged as an effective tool for targeting genomi...

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry. But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out! doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🧵1/6

Genomic architecture of egg mimicry and its consequences for speciation in parasitic cuckoos

Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...

Schneeberger Lab@labschneeberger.bsky.social · last yr.

📢 Excited to share our work out now in @nature.com! 📢 We present the phased pan-genome of tetraploid European potato, based on 10 historical cultivars representing 85% of European potato diversity. Learn more below! 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/7

This work shows the first overview on the population genetics and demographic history of the big European firefly, **Lampyris noctiluca**. Feeling very happy this work is out :) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Sex-biased Migration and Demographic History of the Big European Firefly Lampyris noctiluca

Abstract. Differential dispersion between the sexes can impact the colonization process and demographic history of a species. Here, we explored the demogra
