Postdoctoral Researcher at Globe, University of Copenhagen, Denmark I'm mostly interested in human history and evolution, but also more general: Bioinformatics, Population genetics, Phylogenetics, aDNA, Simulation tools and Palaeoproteomics.https://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.social/post/3msxmwb6eu22qWe have a new preprint out :D https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.11.744165v1 Did Denisovans inherit their AMBN gene from Homo erectus? We have released a short preprint trying to answer this question! @lauritsskov.bsky.social @fridowelker.bsky.social ~Summary below~13 Aug 2026 12:19 +0000at://did:plc:3j33hw2ywbgitpd3kmpxw52q/app.bsky.feed.post/3msxmwb6eu22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.social/post/3mrk4l7xzsc2hHad a chance to present our work on assesing the potential of palaeoproteomics for the study of hominid evolution (https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag035). Thank you to the @paastacommunity.bsky.social for inviting me and for recording the talk. Happy to be part of this community! :D [contains quote post or other embedded content]26 Jul 2026 09:57 +0000at://did:plc:3j33hw2ywbgitpd3kmpxw52q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrk4l7xzsc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.social/post/3mm2bbpkfz22kInteresting points! If you look at the protein data alone, there are no recovered variants that support these samples being very divergent from modern humans, e.g. 'H.erectus like'. For comparison, the H.antecessor enamel had a variant, placing it as an outgroup to nean, deni, and present day humans [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 May 2026 11:33 +0000at://did:plc:3j33hw2ywbgitpd3kmpxw52q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm2bbpkfz22khttps://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.social/post/3mg36ejtix225The final chapter of my PhD thesis, is finally published in GBE! https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/doi/10.1093/gbe/evag035/8500121 You can also read the earlier recommendation by PCI in a nice little summary here: https://evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?id=864 #palaeoproteomics #phylogenetics02 Mar 2026 11:42 +0000at://did:plc:3j33hw2ywbgitpd3kmpxw52q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg36ejtix225https://bsky.app/profile/ipatramanis.bsky.social/post/3lqeu2y5uuk25The Paranthropus paper is out! :D See the post from Palesa for a quick summary. Although technically small in scale (4 specimens🦷), this work took many years and many people to complete... Excited to see how the results we show will be applied to future sample sets, now that we know what works!

Over the years, I’ve gotten multiple questions on the usefulness of ancient proteins in resolving phylogenetic questions. This is our attempt to provide some answers: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.08.647730v1.full15 Apr 2025 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:3j33hw2ywbgitpd3kmpxw52q/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmtwoah4v226
