We published now in Molecular Biology & Evolution our paper presenting a neat tool to calculate statistics for adaptive introgression. This is work led by Xin!

Ape data paper published!
We published in Scientific Data our curated great ape genome diversity paper. We collected high coverage whole genomes, report some inconsistencies in previously published metadata, and present curated sets of genotypes as well as mapped sequences. A lot of effort, which will hopefully be useful […]
Neanderthal paper published!
A new paper with contributions from the lab published in PNAS! Poor DNA preservation, but still, we obtained a mitochondrial genome. Here you can find it on their website. Congrats to Ina for her first paper!
4 years – tenure
Four years ago, the admixlab was established. In summer, I got tenured. So, we went to celebrate, that is Sojung, the PhD students (Aigerim, Josef, Michelle and Ina), and me. This time, it was a special group activity, we went to a concert at Musikverein […]
ESEB 2025
A nice conference in Barcelona, a great opportunity to catch up with friends and collaborators and getting to know a lot of new things about evolutionary biology.
SMBE 2025
We were at the SMBE conference 2025 in Beijing. A fantastic conference, meeting many colleagues, learning a lot of things. I presented work on great ape data and introgression, and Sojung presented bonobo substructure work.
Felix Key visit
We had Felix Key from the MPI for Infection Biology Berlin visiting this week. He gave a talk on “Decoding the Evolutionary Past of Pathogens” as part of the HEAS genomics seminars, and we had some nice discussions around pathogens etc. This time at least […]
Visit to MPI Leipzig
On 10th of June, I was visiting the MPI in Leipzig to give a talk at the Department of Primate Behavior and Evolution on Great Ape genomic diversity and pathogens, spending a great day with Jenny, Genevieve and many others, discussing science around primates and […]
Human Evolution, UCL & Language chapter
In April, I talked about the current state of how to detect admixture at the Human Evolution Conference in Hinxton (UK). Thanks to the organisers, particularly Carina Schlebusch! Then I dropped by at UCL for a lab visit with Aida Andres, presenting the recent state […]
Spring 2025 updates
It has been a while since the last updates, but the lab has been busy.In January, we had a group dinner to celebrate the paper of Xin and Josef. Also in January, we had Ilan Gronau from Reichman University visiting to give a HEAS genomics […]
