Computational Admixture Genomics
Research group in evolutionary genomics
We just published a review article in Nature Reviews Genetics: Everything you ever wanted to know about deep learning, its application to population genetic inference, and the potential of this field! Led by Xin Huang, in collaboration with Oscar Lao.
Finally, the Gorilla ghost admixture study is out in Nature Ecology & Evolution!
Great conference in Ferrara, learning a lot, meeting many people, and presenting the work of our group with several posters (in presence & online).
Harvinder Pawar presented the gorilla ghost admixture project at the SMBE2023 conference in Ferrara, Italy! Congrats again to winning the Graduate Student Excellence Award!
Several studies on primate genomic variation have now been published in the journal Science, with some contribution from the PI. High-quality genomes from 233 primate species will help us understand evolution and help conservation. Their variation is useful to predict the impact of mutations in […]
A few things happened over the past few months:
Yesterday, I gave a lecture at the NHM in Vienna – in German – on why Evolutionary Genetics is important and admixture is interesting…
Postdoc position (18 months) for an FWF-funded project (1000 Ideas Programme) on viruses in historical great ape samples.Apply here!
Here is the new preprint on the contribution of an extinct lineage into eastern gorillas (mountain and eastern lowland gorillas)!The work of Harvi, with many collaborators!
We had a great time with Katerina from University of Edinburgh (Scotland), who was talking about museums, microbiome and many interesting things! Her talk will be online soon on the HEAS youtube channel!
