I am happy to share the first preprint of my PhD! We developed mixKIN, an ancestry-aware kinship estimation tool for low-coverage genomes. By accounting for ancestries, it allows us to reconstruct genetic kinship accurately even in complex or admixed populations. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A PhD project in my group to work on the sequencing of whole animal genomes from mosquito blood meals is open to applications, through the @nrpdtp.bsky.social.

(1/7) Interesting new pre-print by Reich (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...). Archaeological and geographical claims can be questioned imo though. Some kind of population contact between an early Homo sapiens population and Neanderthals is evident, but there are lots different specific scenarios.

If you build it...! A school from Ndhiwa visited the Rusinga Island Prehistory Organization museum today to learn about the amazing fossil resources in Western Kenya. Tich maber to the RIPO staff!
