Had the best time last week at #ICP2026 here in Stockholm! Presented my poster on ancient horse DNA from Denisova Cave 🐴🦴🧬

♥️ THANK YOU ♥️ We are overwhelmed by the positive comments and are incredibly happy that everyone enjoyed their time in Stockholm! #ICP2026 was only possible with the hard work of the organizing committee and a marvellous team of ECR volunteers 🟠 at @cpgsthlm.bsky.social

🔔 New paper from the Vet Para lab @sydney.edu.au 🪱 In @commsbio.nature.com, our global analyses of 100+ heartworm genomes uncover the unexpected evolutionary history and population structure of this canine parasite 🧬🌏 Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1038/s420... Key findings in the 🧵 below 👇

Population genomics reveals an ancient origin of heartworms in canids - Communications Biology

Genomic analyses of heartworms from multiple continents suggest a deeper evolutionary origin in canids than previously recognised, with evidence of both ancient dispersal events and more recent introd...
