We'll also cover best-practises for metadata reporting in #aDNA studies and how to archive sequence data on the ENA!

Something I wish existed a couple of years ago, so thanks for making it happen @anders-bergstrom.bsky.social & members of @aarc-community.bsky.social! There are still many more ancient animal genomes to add & we need more hands! If you're keen to help us out, see below 😊✌️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]04 Jun 2026 16:44 +0000at://did:plc:n6ntoumtpreultqtt2ameymr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mni33wdoqs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/ddj-sa.bsky.social/post/3mnhcbltuo22nThe oldest DNA retrieved from an animal fossil is ~1.6 million years old - a mammoth from icy Siberia where cold temperatures preserve DNA well. But have you ever wondered how long #ancientDNA is preserved in animal remains from sunny & warm Africa? Well, wonder now more! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2026.11007604 Jun 2026 09:20 +0000at://did:plc:n6ntoumtpreultqtt2ameymr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnhcbltuo22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ddj-sa.bsky.social/post/3mj36lts7t223Free online workshop for estimating relatedness from genomic data! Great opportunity especially for students and other early career researchers (but everyone is welcome)! #AaRCademy #popgen [contains quote post or other embedded content]09 Apr 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:n6ntoumtpreultqtt2ameymr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj36lts7t223
