Check this out! Ancient S. enterica from colonial Mexico from a non-epidemic context 🧬🧫 Lead by @mbravolo.bsky.social, congratulations !
Paleogenomics - María Ávila Arcos@paleogenomics.bsky.social · 10mo agoThrilled to share our preprint where we propose that S. enterica Paratyphi C entered Mexico via European conquest and then diversified locally. More evidence is needed to assert whether or not it caused Cocoliztli (a major contact-period epidemic). Comments welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have arrived in Turin for @isba11.bsky.social and are very excited for the week! Don't miss the following talks and posters from the Welker Group:
Ready for #ISBA11 meeting. Starting with the pre-conference #PAASTA 🤩 and the welcoming. It’s already being great to connect with peers from Huerta-Sánchez lab @lindaongaro.bsky.social @marcocapo.bsky.social and more (not all in this network). And remember to visit me at my poster No.254 on Friday.
Our paper on the evolution of MUC19 in humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans is finally out today in Science! This has been a six-year effort by 13 authors to weave together 3 separate but related evolutionary stories around this one gene (more on thread 🧵). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The MUC19 gene: An evolutionary history of recurrent introgression and natural selection
We study the gene MUC19, for which some modern humans carry a Denisovan-like haplotype. MUC19 is a mucin, a glycoprotein that forms gels with various biological functions. We find diagnostic variants ...
