Computational Admixture Genomics
Research group in evolutionary genomics
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!
Ben Peter from the MPI Leipzig was visiting our group and the department, talking about Neandertals, admixture and more. Was great to have you here!

We are very happy that our first paper was published today (as accepted manuscript) in Molecular Biology & Evolution!Congrats to Xin and Patricia!
Just finished the #EESHuman conference at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany – the state of the art in ancient genomics with many great speaker. Martin presented a poster with flashtalk on introgression detection methods, Harvi presented a poster on gorilla demography and admixture.
