🧵1/2 AdapterRemoval v3, a dang fast(Q) processor, is here! 🚀 AdapterRemoval v3 filters and trims high-throughput sequencing data, merges overlapping reads, performs demultiplexing, & generates detailed QC reports (HTML & JSON), and does so much faster than #AdapterRemoval v2.
🧵1/5 Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality doi.org/10.1093/bioi...
Big science highlights this month at our #EPIC seminar! Kees uncovered new insights into isolation by distance and shorebird diversity🐧, and Anna showed how ancient chewing gums provide a remarkable snapshot into #microbiome 🦠evolution and health. Fascinating work from both! 👏
Our monthly #EPIC seminars are back! 🎉 This month, Thomas Bøggild kicked things off with a fascinating talk on stopped recombination in new sex chromosomes, and @audald.bsky.social followed with great insights into recombination maps and imputation in #PopGen studies. See you next month!
Our new paper on Indonesian cattle #genomics is out on @natcomms.nature.com 🎉 Did you know Indonesian #cattle 🐂 were a mix of two species? 🧵 Great work by Xi, @sagitaninta.bsky.social, Casia, Rasmus & co-authors Read 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #popgen #evolution #agriculture
The genetic diversity of Indonesian cattle has been shaped by multiple introductions and adaptive introgression - Nature Communications
Indonesian cattle are unique due to their history of admixture involving both zebu and banteng. Here, Wang et al. identify ~3.5 million novel introgressed SNP variants and provide a genomic map of banteng introgression within and across many cattle breeds, each with unique introgression histories.

Had a blast presenting my postdoc projects from @popgendk.bsky.social at #ESEB2025: figuring out the conservation units of topis from Africa & the selection pressure on the introgression landscape of Indonesian admixed cattles. Thanks for those who came by & gave really useful comments!
Day 1 of #EPIC25 @sagitaninta.bsky.social (KU) presented her work on Indonesian cattle and the evolutionary forces shaping their genomic landscape.
We then continued with Emil Jørsboe (SSI) and explored the genetics of permanent tooth eruption.
Shixu He (KU) gave a brilliant talk about the #metagenome of the Greenland population, revealing unique microbial signatures. Seems like ice-cream can improve your health!?
Another great research talk today (online version this time!) from Martin Sikora on #ancient human #pathogens - from #plague to #pandemics and #zoonosis. Did lifestyle shifts shape #disease #burden over time? Seems like it! Thanks for joining us! #AncientDNA
Wrapped up yesterday's lectures with a canal tour in #Copenhagen — sunshine (mostly), good vibes (lots), and... as we entered #Nyhavn, a beautiful rainbow appeared. 🌈🚤🇩🇰 #CanalTour #Summercourse25 #popgendk
Alex Brown @blackochreomics.bsky.social from the @thekidsau.bsky.social gave a great talk on #indigenous #genomics and how to address health #inequality in these communities! Thanks for joining us!

Population and Statistical Genetics Group at UCPH@popgendk.bsky.social · last yr.Are you an evolutionary/population geneticist in Denmark? The EPIC conference is back and it will take place on 11-12 August 2025 in Aarhus. Come along for two days of great talks and networking! #EPICdk25 Hosts: @molbiolau.bsky.social & @popgendk.bsky.social Register now at: popgen.dk/epic/
This is a physical course but an online version will be available for those who can’t attend. We especially encourage students from African institutions to join online as this is offered as part of the African BioGenome Project Open Institute East&Central Africa Regional Workshop
Population and Statistical Genetics Group at UCPH@popgendk.bsky.social · last yr.Our population genetics PhD summer course 2025 @popgendk.bsky.social, Globe_UCPH is open for registration! We'll cover multiple topics and tools commonly used in PopGen analyses. For more info: 🔗 website.popgen.dk/summer/
We sequenced and analyzed the world's rarest large mammal, the #saola 🦄. That turned into a cool paper substantially increasing what we know about this elusive animal, its evolutionary history, population structure, and long-term decline. Check it out here 👇 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Genomes of critically endangered saola are shaped by population structure and purging
The generation of whole-genome sequencing data from 26 saolas provides insights into the phylogenetic placement, population structure, historical decline, and genetic diversity in one of the world’s m...

Welcome back to our monthly #EPIC seminars! We started yesterday with two speakers, Evelyn Todd and Marta Ciucani, talking about their research on #Scandinavian #wolves 🐺 and #African forest #hogs 🐗 Next seminar 🔜 May 21st Join us for some interesting talks and pizza 🍕
Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland - it really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + data sovreignty. : www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Genetic architecture in Greenland is shaped by demography, structure and selection - Nature
We illustrate that including data from Greenlandic Inuit can greatly reduce inequity in genomic-based healthcare in Greenland and other indigenous Arctic populations.

The Greenlandic population offers significant potential for precision medicine. The largest analysis of its kind is now in @Nature. A big thank you to all participants in the health surveys throughout the last 25 years 🙏 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵1/6
