Die neue US-Administration schränkt die #Forschungsfreiheit ein – Förderanträge werden nicht geprüft, Mittel eingefroren. Das betrifft auch viele unserer Partner. Umso wichtiger ist es, den transatlantischen Austausch zu stärken. Gespräch im @spiegel.de u.a. dazu (€): www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Finally getting some of my research for my PhD out there! Hopefully soon in a journal near you ;) Ancient Y. pestis infection from a sheep falls on the LNBA lineage, previously only known from humans! +molecular evolutionary analysis to leverage the ever increasing number of ancient genomes known!

Many zoonotic diseases are believed to have emerged during prehistory, but can we actually identify their past host range using ancient DNA? In the first publication of the Key Lab we present a 4000y old Yersinia pestis genome reconstructed from domesticated sheep. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
